Serebii.net has occasionally been the center of controversy, as its webmaster has faced accusations of theft in the past. {{OBP|Serebii|person}}, the owner, claims that he has not personally stolen anything since mid-2002. Since mid-2002, however, there has been at least one instance of material appearing on Serebii's site that had been created and/or originally reported by another fansite without credit; Serebii has stated that one incident resulted from the work of unscrupulous fans stealing the material from the original site and passing them along to him, without informing him of the source. Although he has shown reluctance to remove or give credit for such material at times, Serebii eventually accepts to do so in the vast majority of cases. Serebii.net is very protective over its content. The site has functions that disable right-clicking, and highlighting and copying text in most browsers.
