Hey, a lot of people out there don't consider Comics real writing. I'm not one of those people, but I'm just playing devils advocate for a moment.
Software developers continue to pirate software. Musicians encourage mp3 downloads. While there may not be any evidence it hurts the industry, it does hurt the individuals. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Dinowitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 07, 2005 12:51 AM To: CF-Community Subject: who cares I sent an email reciently to a list of writers I'm on about the massive copywrite infringment going on with scanned comics. I have a full T of comics already and there's still more coming down. Comics come out Wensday and I have 60%-80% of them by Wensday night. (I'm doing this as a favor to a friend who wants to track all this as its happening). The response from some of the writers? Who cares. Comics make no money, comics are just vehicles for 'real' things like movies, TV shows and merchandicing. Who cares if you can download every superman comic that was ever printed. You can't even say for sure that the comic industry is losing money because of this. These arguments drive me crazy. Here are professional writers and editors just scoffing at massive scanning operations as if it means nothing. It would normally make me want to scream, but I've got a list of things to do and screaming isn't on it. :( Yes, this was just a rant. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:146413 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
