Magazine and Comic Book Piracy - Why hasn't it ever hit the net?

[MadRat]

Its pretty creative that file sharing has advanced to the point where movies, songs, and pictures are available on the internet. Even books on tape are easy to find. I am surprised that old magazines and comic books haven't filtered down to the web. Its pretty easy to scan in these old mags page by page. The data can be saved as PDFs, zipped up pics, and even turned into slide shows.

Anyone wonder why nobody has done this yet?

porn is all over the place. you can find everything on the net.

because it'd take forever to scan every page and upload every page

tedious task for just a comic book/magazine

If you hadnt used the same handle, no one would ever have known. And I think my response to your post in the "pi day" thread should answer the question...

 

[b0mbrman]

Yeah...I'm stupid about using the same handle everywhere... not that it's a bad thing to be on that other place of course 😉

I know there are some other ATers over there just by reading the sigs.

Audio, video, and porn lend themselves well to the internet's abilities.

Magazine scans simply don't, especially when you can go buy the magazine for a couple $$.
