I use comic downloads to see if book is worth buying. Zooming in and out of a cbr file is not my idea of an reading a series. Nothing beats lounging with a comic book for a relaxation but those bastards (esp. Marvel) are too greedy like all moguls out there.

I would like to let DC know you better do something. What about people that live in areas with right now NO bookstores and no comic purchase places available for several months. I have been an avid reader since 70s. Also hello what if you have no Credit Card. Not everyone believes in plastic

RIAA and MArvel/DC deserve to have their comics stolen right out from under them because of the complete CRAP storylines they force on their fans. Look, if I buy a 2.99 pamphlet, I expect a story worth that price, not some arbitrary bullshitadvertisement filled piece of soap-opera trash novella spinoff with sections that don’t apply to the characters which I’m trying to enjoy. The same with teh RIAA, if they didn’t put out CRAP they wouldn’t have this priacy issue. The problem in both industries is that there are no epic events happening, therefore their products cannot “sell themselves” in the eyes of the consumer. This leads to over advertising shitty products, piracy due to lack of enthusiasm… etc etc. I’m sure that the high prices in other ares of peoples lives contribute to the problems alos. In short, 2.99 is still 2.99 and when I buy something like say… CIVIL WAR (and tie-in), or SILENT WAR… or I don’t wanna look back on my purchase and say “What the hell did I spend my money on?? That was CRAP!!”

-Furthermore, how can someone sit and read comics on their computers for hours, especially something the length of a graphic novel, such as the Secret Wars saga?? Isn’t that were the comic companies make most of their money anyways, through the collections??

According to their forums Z-Cult has also removed Marvel and DC comics. By request of those publishers.

The site will stay up, but they arrent sure of their future.

[...] that’s sad, but the real meat was about z-cult. let’s say that zcult is the oink of comics. marvel and dc sent nastygrams to zcult, causing them to shut the trackers off for several days, until serj (the head of zcult) realized how bogus the claims really were. so they came back up. [...]

Personally I don’t read comics, but my boyfriend is a collector. What he does is he still buys, just not opening them, that’s the time when he would download to read. In the end, nothing lost right? He paid for them..

Tell that to the Woman in Saudi Arabia who is getting 200 whiplashes by court order after being gang-raped. It’s the applicable law over there for lascivious behaviour, so if we follow your line of thinking, this must be the right thing to do, because it’s legally binding and we can’t argue our way out of that, correct?[/quote]

I’m not stupid and i know people will bend and break laws, but i really get annoyed when law breakers blame the companies their ripping off for trying to protect their products.

How would you like it if i came to your work place and stole whatever you manufactured. I bet you would take precautions to stop it happening. I think the word i’m looking for is hypocrisy.

Sean: Contrary to popular belief, United States’ laws are not, in fact, applicable outside America.

Marvel & DC comics are nothing more than Souless, greedy, evil corporations sheltering their most precious in all the World, everyone else’s money. Their product is overpriced. If the charged a FAIR market value their product would not be pirated as much. Read this Sean: FACT: Prior to the advent of P2P the comic book industry was bottoming out in bankrupcy. P2P has given them FREE advertising, captivating a whole new generation. Marvel simply copied Z-cult in Flash 9, naively thinking this format cannot be copied. I have looked at their copy cat site. They stole the idea for their site from P2P or Z-cult. MAYBE we should sue them for their lameness?

However, this generation is different. If we buy the comic, AGAIN, its ours…if WE the people choose to share it, we will. AGAIN Sean: Sharing is NOT STEALING. If I legally buy a product and share with my friends it should be my choice.[/quote]
After viewing these comments I would have to agree.
