My guess is that publishers don't contact the (allegedly) infringing research group websites since this would probably result in: 1) The research group resenting the takedown notice, though likely co-operating 2) Publishing any future research with a rival publisher I haven't published the list of those Wiley say are posting articles illegally in case this is interpreted as accusing scientists of copyright infringement. In any case, the publisher hasn't got what they wanted. Authors are still happily posting Wiley's PDFs and the major scholarly search engines (at time of writing) are still indexing them (though they may not have been asked by Wiley to de-index).

In any case, the publisher hasn’t got what they wanted. Authors are still happily posting Wiley’s PDFs and the major scholarly search engines (at time of writing) are still indexing them (though they may not have been asked by Wiley to de-index).

Technically, I think you were fine there. But, there is no way to know every author-publisher contract Typically, the author can have a .pdf on their website, since they are using it as an educational resource.
