I mean, it’s fine to subscribe to a RSS feed, obviously; and it’s even OK to aggregate a bunch of RSS feeds. But to aggregate a bunch of webcomic RSS feeds, rip the images off of them, turn the result into an app, and then sell advertising on it… bad form, AdultComix. Very, very bad form.
Via Darths & Droids, which is one of the comics being ripped off… and who is not happy about it at all. I wonder how strict Australian copyright law is? – Well, I guess that we’ll find out…
Just confirmed that a friend of mine’s webcomic (dream*scar) is one of the one’s being ripped. She had no idea. She’s trying to figure out now how to contact the guy and tell him to knock it off.
I would contact them through a cease and desist order myself, if I had the time and money to get one.
I’d go for the subtle approach and hire a hit man 😉
