We got into a lengthy discussion of copyright ownership and downloading comics over at comicon. Don't know what you think about illegal downloading, but I thought you'd be interested in the discussion that came up with Erik Larsen over the Gaiman/McFarlane brouhaha, since you've written about it in the past. Larsen was playing the absolutist when it came to sharing digital copyrighted copies for free, so I thought it relevant to ask him what his thoughts were regarding McFarlane's treatment of Gaiman regarding the fromer's use of their cocreated characters without paying the latter. Well, so much for the absolutism! I'm not trying to bring you into it, just thought you'd be interested in reading it, as it relates to an extension of all that creator's rights stuff. After a poster quoted Larsen's dialogue with Sim (which included a chauvenistic reason for Gaiman winning in the court), Larsen enters into the exchange here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.comicon.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php/ubb/get_topic/f/2/t/009794/p/10.html<BR/><BR/>Hope it's of interest.
