If a website that has copyrighted content like translated manga or books that are already out on the market, can it place adsense on the homepage If they are no links to the copyrighted content on that particular page? Please tell me if I'm not being clear enough.
Well, Google has made a feature available when it comes to Copyright Infringement. If you think, someone else is using your material and showing google ads, you can report this to them via a special form. So, I think unless someone is reporting you, you wont have any problem. Go ahead.
