digital UG piracy

[Rick Bradford]

Hey, Jay, I know digital piracy of UG comix has been discussed elsewhere but thought I'd point this one out in case you haven't seen it.

This is just one recent post but it looks like they're providing digital copies of Roxy Funnies, among others.

This seems to be a new blog. Wonder if they move these sites around a lot or something...

The main server on this site is some German company called Rapidshare. There are tons of lawsuits against them. These digital intellectual property theives are a pain in the butt. I am working on stopping these guys, though. The guy who runs this site was off line for a few months...But it looks like he's back to his old trucks.

I was wondering what anybody here felt about the issue.
