Thanks for uploading them evilfabio, everything was moved that was Golden Age, l appologise for not checking through the list earlier, but the ones printed after 1955 we would not consider to be Golden Age. You would not happen to know the origin of the scans with the GM copyright by any chance?

Hi evilfabio

Thanks for uploading some great comics  ;D, the covers to the Space Patrol and Space Buster are just beautiful.
Cannot find the Charlton issue just yet ???

Just one thing, your Strange Worlds issue 5, its not a Avon comic, its a reprint from IW publishers from 1958.

I bought them from http://www.comicsoncdrom.com/.  They specialize in selling scans of public domain comics.  I saw some other uploads here with the GM "copyright" so I figured it wouldn't be an issue. 

I understand if you want to exclude them, of course.

Well nobody has chimed up yet and said we cannot, most likely they got the scans for free from the internet in the first place. True they might get annoyed at us, since we share them for free and they are trying to sell them which is why l enquired, if they make a fuss we might have to remove them. The final decision on if they stay or not is up to Serj, but for the time being they can stay till someone comes up with replacement scans. If readers would like to leave a comment on the other GM copyrighted comics that are not noted, it would be helpfull

OK it seems Serj has recieved a few messages from http://www.comicsoncdrom.com/ and we will not be able to have any of the scans from their site here. If anyone notices any please let us know so we can delete them

Just for the record, the law isn't on comicsoncdrom's side here.  At least not in the U.S. where they're based.  The Supreme Court's ruled that you can't take a picture or scan of something public domain and copyright it without adding something signficant to it that makes it original.  You can slap a copyright notice on anything and send some e-mails, but it won't stand up in court.

Having said that, I fully understand not wanting to deal with some guy sending threatening e-mails.  I'll be sure not to upload anything I come across with their watermark and pretend copyright.

Not to mention that they plaster that damn watermark across the art on EVERY page...  I have downloaded any number of scans, and if they've got GM on them they are deleted instantly...  I'd rather find, buy, scan and post them myself then see some self-righteous prick's stamp on the very art he's supposedly trying to preserve...

Lesson, kids...  don't put your tag on the comic itself, insert a seperate tag page, preferably preceded by "zzz" in the filename, so that it will live unannoyingly at the back of the scan  ;D

Although legally he might not have a leg to stand on, still it is our policy to remove the scans if the owner complains about them being on the site. True technically he might not be the owner, but he can prove they originated from his site so we will remove the watermarked, ones anyway. l was aware this could happen, and considering how competitive some sites are about their material, even the ones offering it for free will often slap a site logo on so they can claim it as theirs, it is only polite to remove such material if the Admin of the site complains

I imagine that it would be also quite easy to put a watermark like that on any existing scan....
