I think it's all like a book. Once it's been printed, it's been printed. They can have everything burnt to all hell, but there's ways of hiding things, even the digital kinds of things.

It's like the book, "Anarchist's Cookbook". The author shuns his creation and has even asked everyone who has it to burn it. Do they? Of course not! They like it, and it's not really fair. It may be the "right" of the author to request things be removed, but they can't completely stop anyone. If I save a story to my harddrive and the author has removed it, I still have it, and could even go against their wishes and put it up again somewhere on the internet. Fair? Nice? Of course not. But the "rights" are along thin lines that the author has thus erased when they put it on the internet to begin with.
