You are sooooo looking at a lawsuit.

Maybe he is the company. Scanning someone else's stuff and selling it where they'll notice you is pretty mindless, after all.

Is there a market for this sort of thing though? I'm surprised Marvel hasn't released such stuff themselves, I'd be interested in a CD ROM of say 60 issues of Amazing Spiderman presented in the same way their DOT comics are. Far less space consuming than several boxes of comics and a cheap and easy way to read all the old stuff. Granted you can't read it on the bog or anything but I'm sure it'd sell.

I might be tempted, too. It would be great to take along with the laptop. Slightly more limited in where I can use it than a normal comic, but that's a trade-off for basically having a full-colour Essential volume.

I think it boils down to:

- ease of pirating the material skyrockets - it competes with the market the ESSENTIALS are appealing to (cheap reprints of classic comics)

But, I agree, it's something I would really like to have.

I would like to think their is. I would certainly buy them. So far,I only know of the Mad Magazine collection on CDR.

Perhaps the market still needs developing. What happened with Anime seems a good example Back in the 70's anime was only available thru comic cons and tape trading clubs. Fans were really obsessed back then. Yes is was technically piracy and copyright infringement but it was essential in creating the market and demand for more anime releases Gradually companies got started marketing anime videos and now there is a healthy variaty available with many titles now available at the Blockbusters and Walmart stores

Perhaps the comic publishers are hoping that the popularity of comic scans like at ABPC will create the same market for them as well

Why not use the same system that the music industry is beginning to use. You can use the CD on your PC, but you can't copy it. Due to Copyright protection software.
