Why do Japanese fansites try to be so obscure? (23)

If I understand correctly most Japanese fansites do not like being linked so that they do not turn up on search engines. This is because they do not want the copyright holders to find their site. (版権者からの回避?)

But why are they so scared, it's not like they're using licensed images and they never claim copyright on the images themselves.

Is it because there's really been a case where copyright holders have sued fansites for making fanart of copyrighted work? or is it because they want to be 100% legal? Can any Japanese here comment on this? 日本語でもokです。
