You are supporting DL'r right? Semantics.

It's not that specific issue you already own. It would be a different version of that issue.

Exactly.You can hardly call me a thief when you don't know which laws govern me.
Yes I can if your stealing intellectual property.
However, most countries do offer protection to foreign works under certain conditions, and these conditions have been greatly simplified by international copyright treaties and conventions. For a list of countries which maintain copyright relations with the United States, request Circular 38a.

Yup and i'd lay odds you in one of those "most" countries, as you are using the internet. The ones which are not are generally third world countries, where downloading is not an issue or countries where counterfeit products are stock in trade and generally have embargos against them.
🙂 Your concession is accepted.

Well this leads on to a different question doesn't it. Should people have an entertainment allowance. Should it be part of a reasonable quality of life. Others might argue you made a choice to have a family and your entertainment etc. comes from having children. You have chosen to spend your finances on that.

What hypothetical others do should not be an excuse really should it? Especially when other better lines of excuse exist!
People(ALL PEOPLE) ignore laws that they don't like or agree with(at least when they feel that they can get away with it), it's just that simple. That's why people get speeding tickets, that's why cops beat up people that haven't warranted it, that's why rich people have overseas bank accounts, that's why parents kill the person who raped their kid and got off the hook on a technicality, that's actually why there was an underground railroad to free black slaves, and that's why people "sock" forums that they've been banned from 😉 . Whether someone considers a law to be "right" factors in heavily in regards to their compliance with the law because let's face it, not all laws SHOULD be laws. This just happens to one that I disagree with for the most part so I don't let it weigh to heavily on my conscience. Does that make me a GOOD person....no. But it doesn't automatically make me a WORSE person than those who look down on me for it either.

Indeed.
there was a website floating around in cyberspace, that showed comic sales charts for the last 5 or 6 years....cant find it for the life of me, but it showed that sales werent that much different, in fact in some cases sales were better even after the advent or should i say popularization of piracy...so i say cry me a f ****ing river, build a bridge and get over it!!!!!
I buy comics. Fat load of good it does me. I end up missing issues cuz they sell out. And then the ****ing comic companies put out shit and dont' even treat the properties that I like with any kind of respect.
They ****ed the Xmen good.
Fantastic four, ****ed
Avengers soo damned late that when it came, it sold out. I still haven't read issue four.
New Gods, Dying
Wonder Woman, late, sucks, not respected.
Legion, terrible art, supergirl sucks with them.
Should I go on? The comics industry is ruining itself with trash writing, late comics, and no respect of all thier properties.
Hulk? dumb writing.
Silver Surfer? Jobbers all the time.
Firestorm? Cancelled becuz they just didn't put the effort into actually promoting him.

Dude what the heck are you doing here?
You're like a deranged genius,
you should be making a billion dollars or something.
I'm being serious too, people laugh at this guy but you gotta admit,
this cat is impressive.
A brilliant madman, with an off-beat yet great sense of humor.
I've also read many of your earlier works. 👆
ps. That's the most annoying avatar I have ever seen.
(but I guess that was the point) 😂

I find nothing he says to be genius. It's common sense. And he isn't spreading his message in any ingenius way. Being a troll and an ass certainly wont' get the message across.

I don't disagree necessarily... but I still remember the comics published in the 90s to well to complain about bad writing. 😮

Lol comparing murder to DL comics. I know it is still illegal. But I do support the comic industry and buy comics. Lets put it this way, once I DL an issue and liked it, then bought it. I wouldn't have considered it if I didn't DL it.
Originally posted by srankmissingninI have those,and the xmen series where they had holographic cars on them. I believe they were wolvie, magneto, gambit, and someone else. Also when gen x came out, they had foil strips. Ah the good old days.
Yeah I have a couple copies of X-Men: Omega / Alpha and a chrome Wolverine 100 in long boxes somewhere.
