I have a feeling that real facts will remain in short supply. Much of what I read this morning is now being locked down or deleted. And *if* these fans were hit with a C&D letter/lawsuit and *if* they did work out something with the lawyers, you can bet they were told they would be wise not to talk about it further.
So I think it is futile to try to figure out what has happened - and more important to pay attention to what impact this may have on fandom. I've seen a few RPS writers lock their fic down further. Because as someone wrote: how is calling Jensen functionally illiterate any more libelous than telling the world he likes to be buttfucked by Jared? And if a large chunk of fandom thinks these website owners are getting what they deserve, will they stand up for me when I post my vampire Jesen AU where he dines on kittens for breakfast?

ps. cofax7 is right - we need cat macros on this.
