Ellis on Comics Piracy
This kind of ties in with my post yesterday on the likely influence of comics piracy on sales of comics, now that the corporate superhero segment of the industry has embraced the $3.99 price point.
Ellis discusses Previews and comics piracy, and says “If I were starting out today, I’d be thinking very hard about wrapping my comic into a .cbz container, slinging it on Rapidshare and posting the link on download sites under an anonymous handle.”
That last bit strikes me as funny, because I helped a couple of very big-name creators do just that a couple of years ago. The title is still around, so it can’t have hurt any.
