Copyright theft and comic downloads
What do we think about people using the internet to steal peoples intellectual property?
Anyone here download? Do you think the issue is more complicated than in the statement above?

Sorry, man, I'd answer your question, but I'm too busy downloading comics, selling drugs, stealing candy from babies, and performing drive-bys.
Downloading comics is so totally a gateway crime. .

It's not about the crime it's what it does to the comics industry that is the problem.

Some people in smaller countries don't get all the comics or get them late. That may be a reason for downloading. I by all my comics though.

I find time to download comics on the side when I'm not slinging yeh-yoh or hijacking cigarette & liquor shipments.

Until I noticed option three...

Downloading comics is so totally a gateway crime. . Comic book downloading is no laughing matter Soljer. It can become very addictive. My cousin started out downloading a few comics, before he knew it he was giving BJ's on the corner for Demonoid invitations.

His invitations were only temporary. Just enough to get the high. Pretty soon he started stealing. I woke up one morning to find he sold my damn box of Captain Crunch.

It's easy to say "Hey, don't download ! Just buy the comic and enjoy it" when you're living in Canada and such.
Many people in countries in which the comic books are barely (if) present don't have much of a choice . It's either don't read comic books and stop downloading them or download them (illegal as it may be) .
Although I disagree with the concept of having a comic store in your city or having methods of obtaining comics but instead of paying you just download them , it's not like you can condemn somebody without truly knowing their circumstances .

I agree, it's why I put a variety of choices in. I consider it theft but I understand some people have mitigating circumstances.

obviously i dont see a problem with it....contrary to popular belief it doesnt hurt the industry, and it doesnt snatch food off the makers plates...cuz it isnt like movies or music where you can burn your own copies at will...comics is a genre in which fans are always gonna want something they can touch, cuz after all digital comics cant accrue in value....i download like there is no f ****ing tomorrow, but im still an avid collector, even the stuff i pirate i later collect when they come out in TPB,,,this might be a strech but i submit that piracy actually helps the comic industry. for example, ive been exposed to a great deal of works i wouldnt normally f **** with, simply becuase ppl like DCP, and Scanstas bundle it with that i stuff i look forward to every Wednesday

It hurts the industry when people have comic stores and possibilities to buy the comics yet they don't and download it from the internet . But it doesn't hurt when people who don't have the possibility to buy them download them from the internet .
