Ok, Bgol is a cool spot, but this thread urks me a bit. Especially now. I just seen a book on here that really provoked me to write this. I know the creative team, in fact two of the guys work for my company on OUR books. Im gonna track the link and have it killed, if I see the book resurface I'll have every link deleted within 2 hours relating to anything comic wise. Marvel and Dc can afford you guys posting the books, but for us Indy creators, this shit doesnt even allow us to break even

I hope you arent downloading anything on BGOL either since it's all someone elses work. It takes nerve to say its alright to post marvel & dc but not your stuff. Just do like every other content owner and have your work placed on the sticky banned list.
 
i know my comic will be posted here, i chalk it up to the game.

and no, i'm not talking shit, my brother and i are working up a 4 issue mini series.

The reason I say that in regards to Marvel and DC, is because in chain stores what is not sold ends up like magazines, front cover ripped with barcode. Indy creators usually( 95%) invest thier own money into it, as Indies we are trying to break even. Marvel can afford 9 X-related books tanking and not take notice. Moist indies want the numbers of those x-related books that tanked. I rather you go to a comicbook shop, read it there and consider a purchase.

Yeah but considering the state the comicbook industry is in, this is a minor to major finacial lost. Just because you expect it doesn't mean you have to allow it. Just use the Robin hood thoery.

this thread, and other websites, got me reading [buying] again after I stopped as a kid. it also introduced me to books that I would not have heard of otherwise.
but i understand why you don’t want your work posted here.

hey man, do you. protect your work, it's yours.

i'm not trippin' 'cause my overhead is waaaaaaaaaay low.

even if Diamond doesn't show any interest in distributing us (that shit's a racket.) we only have to move 3k units per quarter to break even. ALL the rest is profit.

but y'know, who just wants to break even?

Thats the thing, no one truly wants to just "break even". We strive to make profit as well as tell the stories. But lets get technical for a moment, One decent single comicbook post on BGOL, containing the entire 1st story issue could attain anywhere from 1-700 hits in a 2 day average. Imagine if those hits were in fact money. At about 3 dollars a pop, thats 2100 USD that I know I wont see. Also depending on how many copies I have, how much the distrubutor decides to take out and if I have to worry about a third party publisher could all effect my wallet. The advantage only lies in gross print runs, so yeah If I have a low print run of 3000 copies, I hope and pray those copies sell so I can at least make some money back, Also that doesnt even include the additional 500 copies extra I have to have on demand at diamond. Ive got this down to a science on where the money goes and how it effects my company. I see 3 potential markets, 10-15 bones a month online for access to every comic my company has to offer including exclusive content. Graphic novels/ trades which can be sold in larger chain outlets and cd/dvd distrubution which tripples the companies titles by becoming more exposed.

But all this will cost me money first, to even achieve that goal someone has to pay up.

But let me show you guys some of our stuff in another thread

Fuck Off
And Die someone ban this bitch
 
I can't defend downloading comics without paying.But I know this though I'm 20 years into comics. Spent thousands of dollars. I aint reading no Indy shit. I'm not wasting the money. I'm grown I'm sticking to the big names. Maybe you can watermark your pages like money but bottom line is that more people will probably read your comic free here than will ever buy it. That's not a knock on your work it's just the truth. By having it posted here you haven't lost one sale because these guys don't buy shit. Kill this thread and another will pop up elsewhere. These comics posted come from somewhere. Every illegal download starts with one purchase.
 
FYI Indie books downloads never reach the three digit marks total. Those who download them are just probably curious to see if its interesting. But its ALWAYS understanable for creators not to have their creations in another medium that they never intended to. So on this note so things won't be escalating, I'll be taking a break.

Then he is the perfect match for it. I also heard Ryan Reynolds, who played Hannibal King in Blade Trinity was vying for the part of Namor. They also may throw the Black Panther in there as a cameo appearance. Wesley Snipes has been setting up to do a Black Panther movie for the longest so that might be a soon released as well.
Dude looks like the rock.

I'm sorry.

I am in the recording field and every album I have ever produced and every song I made has ended up here. (As well as thousands of other sites) Deading the links and reporting BGOL will just have people more geared up to post your shit.

I understand that you're Indy, but many cats like myself only read Indie books if someone recommends them. Drayonis has an online book that is dope. He has the first three available for free. If he decides to charge for a subscription, I'll drop him a few bucks for a year. Maybe, you should just ask the fam to subscribe if they read it. Some will, some wont but at least try first.

Don't bring war to BGOL cause the cats here can get grimy.
 
I wasnt gonna bring war to BGOL, its not this sites issue, this is more like a branch, Im going for the actual root. If you noticed in my other thread I posted one of the guys who works with me and who has a book posted in this thread. The guy just had a baby some months ago, so seeing this shit pisses me off. ANd the book Im refferring to is a new Image book.

Bro save the silly threats and - a) PM the person/people who posted the comic and respectfully ask them not to (chances are they'll listen); b) post the comic here so no one else HERE will step on your toes; c) get a grip...and develop thicker skin...shutting down this thread will not come close to solving your problem...if it was posted here chances are good that the link came from a larger site where a larger number of people are actually DLing your comic...throwing around threats here is not going for the root...shit it ain't even taking down a branch...you would just be pulling off a leaf...

Good advice if it bothers you THAT much...contact a mod or even HNIC and they'll probably make sure it doesn't get posted...the tradeoff is if you are going to bitch about people DLing your work then you can't expect to come here and promote your work either...

Just think of it as free advertisement and call it a day, hell if the stories and art are that good you may get some steady buyers

Again I gotta cosign...first off A LOT of comics are posted in this thread...you can't be sure that that many people are actually DLing yours and you can't assume those that are DLing are "missed sales"...they are just DLing it cause it's there...you seem like you have already done so promo here...I just say get creative and use that to your advantage...you say you don't mind people reading your stuff for free in the store if they at least consider a sale...contact the people who posted your book...ask them to stop then you do a free promo of your own...and then offer links where cats who are interested can buy more...
 
damn here we go again

you mofos kill me

yall know what BGOL represents and yall still come here and d/l shit for free whether its music or porn or whatever and when yo shit gets posted all of a sudden you get some twisted sense of morality about it

talk about hypocritical bullshit

webmasters , pornstars, etc are not built for BGOL for this very reason

either except what it is or take yo ass elsewhere

i'm telling you now, youre a fucking hypocrite faggot. no one who has been on bgol for any consistent basis has any grounds to talk shit about anyone stealing or not paying for anything.. because after all, that is what bgol is all about.

i'm going to forward your comments to hnic and hopefully he will ban your bitch ass.

You can call it what you wish, I just said the thread bothers me. Yes it kinda pissed me off a bit, but its the cyber age. BGOL itself isn't responsible, if you payed attention, I said I wanted to go to the root or heart and do what needs to be done there. Remember in each comic it has a clear line that says "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED", I'll take it up with the creators, because ultimately its their choice on the matter.

Have you ever downloaded anything from bgol???

No need to answer

do you think those people wanted you to get their shit from here for free???

did you go report it to them???

exactly
 
Fam- this is my first time into this thread, and I'm mad as hell it took me this long to get in here.

I have every:
Daredevil #1 to #380

Fantastic Four (original version) #1 to #461
-Second Version #1 to #13
-Third Version #1 to #101
(Also with Annuals, Marvel Knights & a Superman crossover)

Uncanny X-Men #1 to #242 (including TONS of Lost Years, Sagas and Annuals)

If folks are interested, I can upload specific issues or batches.
Don't say "Post all of it!" cuz that ain't happening. This is almost 12 gigs of scans.

But I'm willing to up for folks who want something. It will be to Rapidshare.com.

What you need to understand, sir, is that every "hit" is not a lost sale.
Most people who download have NO intent of purchasing, and NEVER would.

Your best bet is to aid your own cause by using ANY opportunity to bring attention to your product as PROMOTION.

"I see you guys like this comic. It's actually made by a few friends, small, independent outfit. If you enjoy it, we'd appreciate the support. I can even hook you up with a BGOL discount for a year's subscription."


As LS said, the last thing you want to do is war with BGOL. You can't win.

You wrong with this. You threatened to snitch out a popular thread which could have the effect of bringing undue attention to the whole board. Not because someone was posting YOUR stuff, but because of someone posting someone else's material from an entirely different company than yours!

And at the same time you're whining about copyright protection, you're in other parts of the board grabbing copyrighted material yourself! (Yea, I checked...) You doing dirt, then tricking on other people doing the same dirt because "it hits home"! We define that as being a snitch and nobody likes it. :smh:

I have friends who work at Microsoft and I develop software myself, so should I drop a dime on you because you downloaded Office from here? No, that would be some bullshit.

This is BGOL, this is how we do things. If you're not with it, you should step.

Hey HHH! You got the House of M series?
