@Lokiofmidguard I am going to be blunt: You are a dick and I don't typically spend my time feeding trolls on the internet, especially ones that dubiously brag about being a freelancer for Marvel Comics.

If you want to preach to me about ethics of downloading old comics from the 1940s for the purposes that I am -- IE: reading them for reference material to contribute to this site and then deleting them -- (No, you would rather assume I am downloading all my comics because you think you are in a position of authority) -- Let's talk about the ethics of how Marvel has pretty much mad a profit off the creative ideas of all those old creators. None of those writers and artists -- or their surviving estates -- will see much money from their original creations.

Your assumptions that I only download comics is also a false one. 99% of the comics I have purchased and own. I support the current comic book industry because even though Marvel owns all the rights to any new and current characters, at least their creators are being properly compensated for their work.

What I am doing, sir, is no different than someone writing a report for school. Most people would go to the library and get all the reference material available to study at no cost and then return the books when they are done. Nobody in their right mind would buy all the reference books they were looking for to write a book report.

Since my local library doesn't carry the Timely/Atlas era library I go for whatever avenue is available.

Now if that's still something your condescending little world view cannot tolerate, I am sorry you feel that way, but do me a favor and save your soap box for your own blogs and not my comments field. Thanks.
