Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Magazine

[Roseangelo]

For crying out loud, people. This is ALL that I've been saying, and if you would have just gone and asked Krang then this issue would have been resolved without the whining days ago.

And if that's too much to handle, Goongasnootch has your answer.

And yes, it's the website that gets in trouble, not the individual user on the website. Google doesn't have a system for copyright owners to have their content removed from YouTube to protect the person who uploaded it. They do that to protect themselves, and their laywers are still hella busy.

The point is if you hadn't started your little debate scans of the magazine could have been put on the forum and no one would even care or realize it.

Its hypocritical since you are not only not a moderator but you post similar "illegal" stuff on your blog which you've linked here plenty of times. Its obvious the moderators don't give a crap most of the time regardless. Now we have to wait on Krang to decide whether or not from a topic that looks very sketchy and not worded properly.

Fact is the technodrome would not get in trouble, no one would would really give a **** and tons of fan sites have similar full scans of forgotten comics of franchises with no cease and desist letters coming to the site.

And no, if something that is actually illegal would be posted the site would not be be held responsible, its in the user agreement of the forums and its happened plenty of times, all the website has to do is remove said content, if they are to actually do something they do it to the user not the site.

In all due fairness to Rose, nothing is her fault. The decision not to post full scans on the mags here was my decision based on forum precedent and from consulting Krang about a related subject a few years back.

Anyway, this thread is getting too negative, so maybe a new cover scan will cheer up the mood:
Spring 1993 (#12)

This is the cover to the Spring 1993 issue of TMNT Magazine (#12). I believe there were two cover variants of this issue. One featuring the movie poster image of the four turtles on a four horses, and this "Special Collector's Edition" featuring lenticular images on the front and back covers.

This issue doesn't feature a comic adventure, just information on the third live-action Turtles movie.

Best magazine and magazine cover, ever!

[Powder]

Now the animation error in the OT will make sense as we truly see mike really will wield swords! Anyone know what I'm talkin bout? Lol...

[Kendamu]

Y'know, I always liked that animation error for some reason.

[VaughnMichael]

Well if anyone wants to scan the magazines in I don't mind hosting them on my flickr acount with the catalogs I put up.

[Krang]

I posted a reply about the scans in the other thread. If anyone would like to continue that discussion, please do so there rather than in this thread.

Sorry, I don't check this section very often, and nobody reported that thread to the mods. The link has been removed.

Wow! I want that one. Love the cover.

Maybe for a while, but Krang or someone else would've noticed in time, and perhaps put a stop to it. Don't think you can blame Rose for that one

Perhaps I didn't word it correctly, but you and Powder came in afterwords and straightened things out. A look in here anyway woulda made him realise what it was about anyway. I seen people arguing in here over it and thought to myself: why has noone just asked Krang? So I took the incentive.

Anyhoo, what's it matter if its posted on the forum, or on someone's flickr account, or something similar? As long as its out there for everyone to read, I don't mind...

Summer 1993 (#13)

In this issue, April O'Neil and the Turtles become trapped on a mysterious pirate ship helmed by an undead crew. Their only chance for escape is to answer a riddle and break the pirate curse.

[sdp]

I like how Aprils Bikini is yellow , I think in the OT it was too.

Anyways Krang also mentioned it was ok to post the comic portion of the magazine as long as it wasn't the whole magazine.

Well, then, it's game time!

Just let me know if the images are too big and cause forum clutter.

Rose, I am not trying to argue with you but you may want to check these out... Things are changing in the online world concerning rights of website owners and members of those sites...

http://www.smh.com.au/technology/tec...0819-epz0.html

and maybe this as well

http://www.cyberjournalist.net/news/004452.php

and this...

http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=325969

As you can see from the first article Google was sued into revealing the name of the anonymous blogger... Yes she was the owner of the site but she was also completely anonymous, where is the free speech with that? What about the other articles... Commenters names revealed??? Really?

Granted most of these are about comments and not piracy but in the grand scheme of things it is almost the same... Cases like these set precedents down the road for bloggers, commenters, even forum members to be held responsible for their own actions. So, personally I feel that Krang would not be liable but rather the person who uploaded whatever content it was... Now, do I want to get Krang or any other member here in trouble, nah... I think we should just post a snippet of the cover or something with a link to a flickr or other host... I have offered as well as Vaughn so really we should probably look into doing something like this if people really want to share some nice pics...

Dude, the topic has been resolved and is done with. Let it go. I'm not spending any time looking for references to cite to satisfy a person that I don't even know. I honestly don't care if no one here believes me, and if you haven't figured out by now that I don't make **** up, I don't care about that either.

[Archon_Turtle]

I miss civil debate. What ever happened to that? Curse you internets!!!!

[sdp]

Yeah lets get back on topic, the issue is resolved though searching through my posts I ended up reading a post Roseangelo posting scans of a magazine and when asked about copyright she said something along the lines of "who cares besides I doubt they care that I'm posting this" so yeah a bit hypocritical on her part...just sayin'


Regardless, do we know how long the TMNT Magazine lasted? I doubt it lasted for to long.

Judging by the publishing dates, it appears to have lasted from Summer 1990 to Summer 1993. It was a quarterly publishing the first issue in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the fourth in fall. That's if I'm reading the cover dates correctly. A Grand total of thirteen issues. The third movie issue (Spring 1993) appears to have had two variant covers.
