[Groop] Fwd: Groo Sale!

"But having said that, I think the "I'm not affecting anyone's revenue
because the item wasn't available from them in that format anyway" argument
is compromised by this statement "I will for these newer ones that I don't
already have digitally". Now they are available digitally, the pirate ones
are affecting the creators' revenue from you."
Not really.   Because DH digital copies of Groo are all that available.
And the belief running right now among the Groop is that the only reason
why those few exist in digital format is that it was part of the contract
with DH.

Trust me, if they did PROFESSIONAL digital scans of the Pacifics, Marvels,
etc, it would be a far superior thing than what I have.

What I have is akin to someone sitting in a movie theatre and recording the
movie on a handheld.

Would you prefer a copy of that compared to the actual DVD sold?   Heck
no.  Never.

But it's the only option I currently have.

But either way, saying that I am affecting anyone's revenue because the
creators may, someday, if they feel like it, and have nothing better to do,
one of these decades, come out with digital copies then I should just suck
it until if and when they do is kind of ridiculous.  And it's
unreasonable.  We can have an ethics debate all day long, but the other 50
million comic book fans that are downloading these digital copies all day
every day aren't going to be privy to the conversation.  Or care what our
personal conclusions are.   They're just going to keep downloading.
