In the EU most (all?) members have a state-run consumer watchdog organization that can and does escalate measures depending on how big the problem is and how many people are reporting it.
But something like this wouldn’t typically make it to the watchdog because there’s also consumer law in place to allow people to return faulty/unfit devices. So bad products like these typically get absorbed by merchants and importers, who would find themselves unable to shift that particular product and turn it back to Lenovo. Eventually Lenovo can’t find anybody willing to buy the product and have to take the hi[n]t.
The beauty of this system is that it turns the problem back to the commercial side. It takes the regular people (buyers) out of the problem and makes merchants/importers/manufacturers figure it out among themselves. The idea being that “market forces” are real and they work but they shouldn’t be inflicted on unsuspecting customers.
The thing is, in any fetish and fanfic community there will be a body of works accumulated over the years that contains many classics but the authors are only a nickname. Sometimes there’s an email listed that stopped working decades ago.
The sites that host the works are usually run by enthusiasts. Over the years they lose the incentive to maintain them. Whenever a site goes down and others take its place there’s always a dilemma about what to do with that body of work.
Technically speaking, yes, any site that’s not the site where each author originally uploaded their work is in breach of copyright and/or licensing for those works. On the other hand, if you were to attempt to contact each author and only carry forward the works where you get an answer and permission… only a tiny fraction would qualify, and massive portions of the literature would be lost in each move.
