2010 of YODIGONO!: THE DAMN INTERNET Eleven years ago I wrote that piracy will never affect the comics. Eleven years ago monsters scanners were slow, clumsy and heavy. The simple idea of \u200b\u200bthinking entertain someone to scan, page by page, a comic was insane. Now scanners are fast and amazing quality, and the scanners are "working groups" in a few hours up the new Yankees every Wednesday. Yesterday came the No. 8 Avengers in the U.S., and who were interested could be reading at 12 pm local time in Antequera.
Ahem.
Legal or not, moral or not is what you get. Among the American edition and the English spend nine months, and everything depends on the impatience and the English level of each. And yours truly in the past defended the possibility of "taste" before you buy comics. And that's what I do with my new iPad, pileup cool as they come, which is a great pleasure to read comics. Yes, critics are saying that the size is smaller, but we have survived the Marvel library.
addition to the money you save, you can read comics that would otherwise never buy it. The same, if you like until you buy it! And you can read comics that if you buy them only read them once in a lifetime. I buy many of those. In fact, it is likely that most of what I buy today will be read only at most twice. And one thinks it worth spending so much money on comics that you only read once? And you save space if you do not buy them ... Well, Ikea is also harmed by the discharges. Because they have not noticed, that if they knew ...
It shall be unlawful, or immoral, or fattening, but reasons are not lacking.
Personally I read, "Taste," seven or eight month series digital. And then I buy them on paper! I know I'm weird in this regard, but I bought the DVD collections of TV series that I really like. There has been only a comic book which, fortunately, I read before making the mistake of buying it, that horrible Cry for Justice James Robinson. That is, some will say that reading without pay is immoral, but to deceive the reader with such filth is not too ethical.
And all this story from the point of view of a English reader. Recall discharges that are "illegal" in Spain are illegal in the U.S. really so short people a little more. Just a little. Marvel and DC and other publishers have their own digital download service, and, for example, the number 8 Avengers you can buy it in digital format ... within nine months. Hopefully. And only a dollar cheaper than paper. Are not eager to sell, let, or so it seems.
publishers remain committed to their old marketing strategies such as movie production. They are afraid of losing libraries, and understand it, but eventually for taking the same wall as the music industry, yes I edited both on CD and digital downloads. Unfortunately, many music stores have fallen because of downloads, both legal and illegal, but also Mercadona made to close many small grocery stores and not have laws to prevent it. On the contrary, we speak of free market, something that the creators and marketers of cultural content does not just get into her head. And so we will go.
I've shown at the beginning of this post my insight foresight, but I dare say that in the end there shall be a mixed model of downloading and compiling chapters in volumes of these chapters, volumes only few persons can be found in the shops to survive and the shift FNACs. But speak volumes in another post, later.
Appendix 1: In the forties and fifties were no longer fashionable hats in Spain. The hat shops, once thriving businesses, countered with ads that said: "The Reds had no hat." And they say it is a thing of the trolls now.
Appendix 2: Return of the Jedi was released in the U.S. on May 25, 1983. In Spain, on November 21, 1983. In a small town like Antequera could be seen in February 1984, faded back after passing through theaters capital. A lot, but the distributors, as panchas. It was the love of the roost, and did what they pleased without regard to the consumer. And I would like to continue. Ah, it feels. The hustler.
Appendix 3: U.S. sales have declined in recent years at terminal velocity. Spiderman in 2002 selling 166,000 copies a month and 85,500 in 2009. New Avengers increased from 164000 in 2006 to 121,000 in 2009. And so all of them. Something will have to see downloads. And the weariness of the reader. And the lack of generational replacement. And the poor quality of many series. And the abusive crossovers ... But officially, the blame is the fucking internet.
Appendix 4: This iPad have a forums I have looked out of gadgets ... And there are even more fanatical people on the forums of comics! And there is no middle ground. Are Apple fanboys and Apple-haters, who hate Apple for the simple fact exist and insist there are gadgets such as Apple, but much better than Apple. Which, today, is a lie. All iPad is similar to that of Galaxy tablet, which is half the size and significantly more expensive. And the rest who were going out for Christmas, no nothing. Anyway in a few months the iPad will begin to have real competition and even more people read comics in digital format.
