Thanks Gary for the write up. Obviously I thought about the copyright issue when I put the site together. I try and explain this in the about section. I try to not just use syndicate comics too much as they get enough attention already. I do have a good selection of indie comics (and finding more all the time) although I don’t know the ratio. One day I will work that out. Course the syndicate comics tend to publish more frequently (getting paid would tend to motivate you I guess).

Anyway thanks again for the mention.

Technically I think his site is probably a walking copyright violation, which I consider a failing of the law rather than any malice on his part. It is very conscientiously done and I wouldn’t have any issues with him publishing my material on it. (Of course, the Creative Commons license I use makes that a non-issue anyway).

I think that this is a good example of how the web can do good things for content creators in ways that the laws (and people who are trying to expand those laws) have conditioned them to be wary of. The way it’s set up, it’s not really possible to use this guys site as a replacement for someone’s comic, but it makes a pretty darn good feeder. If someone stumbles across the comic on that site and likes it, it’s pretty easy to go to the original site and browse through archives.
