[Groop] Groop Groo comics on dvd

[Greg Craill]

Tone - I'm guessing (but not speaking for SAME) that it's just too easy to 
copy and distribute digital media, which really leaves the artists in the 
downer for royalties etc.

Music is different, these guys get concert revenues, and even endorsements 
etc, so if their music gets all Napstered to hell and back they can still 
make a buck. (I buy my music too from ever since them vinyl days)

Artists like Sergio can go to Cons, but that's not the same kinda revenue as 
an Iron Maiden concert, and I never heard of an comic artist getting a 
national sponsorship/endorsement deal from Ray Ban, or Nike, Or Coca Cola 
etc, for artists like Sergio their printed art is their income and 
livelihood and they have to protect it.

For me - If I'm going to get any digital format Groo, it will be as I buy 
the DVD of the soon to be released feature length animated movie - that's 
right huh Mark, coming soon right - huh huh ?

I have no interest in reading Groo online, comics are soulful, reading 
physical print copies is the experience, moving comic art to laptop 
convenience desecrates the soul of the media, it is not meant to be digital, 
it is meant to be tactile.
