Is it illegal to put your comic scans on the net?

MondoGecko · 06-05-2003, 05:11 PM

I have heeps of comics and I was wondering if it is illegal to put them on the net?

**GK Punk** · 06-05-2003, 05:14 PM

short answer, yes

MondoGecko · 06-05-2003, 05:18 PM

bummer!!

**Karpo_007** · 06-05-2003, 05:22 PM

Well on a WWW yes, but in IRC there are a lot of comic book channels. Might be illegal to tough, but If I ever miss an issue of Ultimate Spider-man for example, I will download the scan and delete it after I get a back issue.

**GK Punk** · 06-05-2003, 05:22 PM

You could probably Zip them in to files, and e-Mail them to people when they want them though... Maybe people could PM you if they want one?

**Karpo_007** · 06-05-2003, 05:24 PM

Thats how they are shared in IRC. Zipped JPG images.

**GK Punk** · 06-05-2003, 05:25 PM

I didn't see your Post Karpo before I posted back to him lol...

Anyways, Karpo, could you PM me that comic channel?

MondoGecko · 06-05-2003, 05:26 PM

heyh, that's a good idea.

i need to get a scanner first as my one is busted.

Do you want me to put up a list of what comics I have?

**Karpo_007** · 06-05-2003, 05:29 PM

Well this board isn't really the place to talk about this, since it might be illegal.

**GK Punk** · 06-05-2003, 05:30 PM

Yeah just kind of leave it to people PMIng you if they want, that's the best way to do it. (Like how I asked Karpo to PM me about the other comics, it's the best way to do it, so Krang and Shredder don't get in to trouble)

MondoGecko · 06-05-2003, 05:37 PM

right-e-o then, I'll just wait until someone PM's me. cheers guys

I like the short answer, becuase there are ways to make it legal.

Like getting permission, or degrading the quality of the images and removing people's ability to print/save the images.

He's not the same Mondo you're thinking of. The other Mondo has the AIM screen name Mondo Gecko Esquire and his avatar is an image I scanned from #18 of the Archie TMNT series.

who's Mondo_Gecko?

If it is ok, how come there is some online at the official TMNT site? You mean like you cant put up comics you didnt make? I know a few other sites that have comic scans online, but i dont wanna give them out or they could get closed down

**HorseTechie** · 06-07-2003, 11:48 AM

Hrmm.. well the ones at the offical Mirage site are their comics, that's why it's cool. However, since the Archie comics, or the Dream Wave comics are not owned by Mirage, they can't post those scans.

As far as the other sites go... 'that one Tranformer site' had been through some hot water, but some things were cleared I guess and they proceeded. Anyone else out there... they are just damn lucky at keeping it hidden.

But overall, it's highly discouraged to post unauthorized comic scans in its entirety on the internet. One can get into a great amount of hot water if you do.

Hmmm, I didn't know it was illegal. At milehighcomics they always have the cover scan and then like the first 3 or so pages.
