TMNT vol 4 31 printing

[azrael]

Since 31 may only see a digital release... I may be able to get some printed is anyone down to pay for an issue?

If everything goes according to plan it will cost 3.72 to print plus shipping it to me and then shipping it to "buyers"

Im not selling just want to get this done in one fail swoop... Any interest in this?

What you are paying for is for the book to be printed, shipped to me, then shipped to you.

[Master Splinter]

I would definitely be interested.

[Andrew NDB]

Yeah, I'm down for one.

[Shogun26]

raises hands!
Me too please!

[DrSpengler]

Although I never did get #29 and #30, I'll jump on this for sure.

So add me to the list (you'll be taking payment via paypal, I presume?).

[CyberCubed]

Whoah, thanks! Just bought it this minute.

Now that just means I need to get a copy of #29 for less than $100 (which doesn't look like it'll be easy/even remotely possible).

[Gooseatello]

I will take one

[Sabacooza]

I'll take one as well...maybe two.

Is this going to be printed and staples together as an official comic? What quality paper is this going to be printed on?

It's the same type of craftsman's ship as my comic.... Instagram in my sig has pics of it along with twitter

please also keep in mind this is a possibility but still a maybe

[liugeaux]

Me, me, me, me...me. Definitely...please keep us posted!

[Xav]

Is this legal?

[liugeaux]

To print it for personal use is legal, printing and selling it for a profit is definitely not legal. But printing something that was initially free, to make it available to more people and not turning a profit is more of a grey area.

In the end, it really depends on the copyright holder's stance on the issue.

[TheMasterTurtle]

I would be on board - please include me

[Abnormal Freak]

I'm in. I may have to send a check if PayPal doesn't let me send money without an account.

[AquaParade]

I'd love to order a copy, though I do not have a paypal account.

Unless you get consent for redistribution, it's not legal. Lotsa marketing implications and such, regardless if there's profits or not. PL or Viacom would have to OK this, I'm thinking Viacom much more so than PL. I don't see Viacom/IDW being cool with fan based/funded publishing if they were asked about it... But that's just me...

Also, and I hope it doesn't go here, there could be implications tying PL to this based on timeframes and similarity. Not to say it would happen, but I would almost say with 100% certainty that PL would stop in his tracks if Viacom/IDW started asking if he had anything to do with an increase in copyright infringing, non-consent having re-distribution of a Viacom/IDW owned property.

Yes #31 would come after the fact and makes it an uber-grey area, but many lawyers on retainer have the sole responsibility of finding ways to successfully sue people. I feel I've pointed out some rather obvious reasons to file suit and I'm the furthest thing from an Esquire.

Nothing more than food for thought... Always CYA!

I'd be down for one
