So if it takes a company 3 years to get the funding (i.e. profits) to release a product internationally they lose their copyright everywhere except Japan? What about if it takes 2 years to find a local publisher?
When I was in Japan I stayed with a Japanese family I didn't know before then (it was through my school). Those people were as king as everyone else I met in Japan with them being as nice as Australians or Americans. I found no more xenophobia in Japan then I did in America. In fact I find more here in Australia:(
After a long flight trip the last thing I want is to be fingerprinted. This is why I refuse to travel to America anymore. I am more willing to fly to Japan though as the flight isn't as long and so I'm not as tired.
As long as you're not some clumsy oaf keeping care of your ebook reader is pretty easy. I've had books as long as I've had my reader and they're showing much more wear and tear then my reader is (and no I don't take poor care of the books. I simply read them, place them in my bag where I place my ebook reader and put them in my bookcase).
Fortunately for me my name is so common that someone who works in my building also has my name. It makes it slightly confusing for people when they contact him thinking its me though.
Because a bomb squad, who should have handled the dismantling of these devices, should have known in 5 minutes it wasn't a fucking bomb. Now either:
1) they weren't called in so the police are incompetent.
2) they were called in and ignored so the police are incompetent.
3) they were called in and thought it was a bomb so they were incompetent.
In any event, someone was incompetent in reacting to these LED sticky thingies. It certainly wasn't the PR company.
Except by using the subscription model they get people to read a lot more then they otherwise would. I just read Last Hero Standing, I wouldn't have ever considered reading that before, but because it was included with what I wanted I gave it a shot.
I'm guessing you don't pay for your internet then? After all, you're licensed your internet connection, not sold it. You can't keep it if the company goes out of business.
I began getting into comics by illegally downloading Ultimate Fantastic Four and then moved over to House of M and its tie-ins. After a month I moved to the beginning comics of Fantastic Four, Daredevil and X-Men. While they are horribly dated, it was fun to see where these comics began. With the more modern stuff, such as Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes included (which coincidentally isn't available on torrent), including the older stuff while people are there doesn't hurt.
With this launch I'm going to do my best not to infringe on Marvel's copyright anymore. I came into comics with the promise this would be released 2 years ago. With that promise fulfilled I will now respect Marvel's and DC's copyright (which means if DC doesn't launch something similar, I won't be buying any of its TPBs for older content).
What's to stop people from simply going to the torrent sites in the first place? If you don't want to abide by Marvel's requests, you can get the content much cheaper and much, much more.
Pointless. Torrents already exist for all those comics. If people are going to break the law with illegal torrents, the Marvel site won't help or hinder them.
Doesn't matter. 99.999% of these will be installed with Windows anyway within a week (and only that long because that's the first time the machine gets booted).

Oh I'm definitely in favour of lesser length of copyright. But you can't refuse someone copyright if they haven't entered a market (yet).
Once something is in the public domain it can't be taken out. To allow otherwise would make the public domain useless.
Why don't you just steal bread and other stuff as well then?
Its the latest protection racket. Pay us or we'll whine at you.

I don't use ad blockers as I prefer to support sites I enjoy. If I don't want to view the ads, I don't steal their bandwidth. Its that simple.

Well I guess I'm a terrible person for doing this then:

All of the above is legit info.

How are they suppose to compete with comics that are ad-free and cost $0?
Pointless. Torrents already exist for all those comics. If people are going to break the law with illegal torrents, the Marvel site won't help or hinder them.

Its still possible. Just chop off his/her legs and arms and install these prosthetics connected to a wifi connection instead of her/his brain.
No. Although it does explain why the medical companies were donating so much money to the Republican party before the war.

I'm ambidextrous you insensitive clod!
Could this be an alternative to viagra? Aging men want to know.
That's a mighty fine resolution you've got on your camera if you can make out the atoms!
