Acrobat Capture is a separate product from Acrobat, for the purpose of large-scale conversion and OCR of images. Webcapture is a plug-in and a feature of the Acrobat product. Anyone with Acrobat can use it to convert a site to a PDF and handle that as any other PDF. Anyone viewing a web site is actually downloading it to their temp files as passed by your host server, and then viewing the files on their computer. Webcapture just takes that one step further; in a way, it is similar to any indexing software (e.g. Google) that grabs information from a site. Maybe it is useful or popular site that someone wants to examine at length. In any case, Acrobat Webcapture cannot change it on your host server. As to copyright issues - anyone could view the site in a browser and automatically the files are saved (at least temporarily) on their computer. Violations come from re-use, not from the use as you intended of people viewing the site.
