Bit Torrent Captain Confederacy

Just discovered that someone is Bit Torrenting the old Captain Confederacy issues. I'm not bothering to see what's in the files, but if anyone's impatient and wants to read the vastly inferior original pages, it appears to be at isoHunt and therefore must be at other Bit Torrent sites, too.

I'll post more revised pages next week.

Will, are you planning on adding any new material for Captain Confederacy past the 12 issues and the special that are featured in the BitTorrent file?

Will Shetterly said...

Yep. There's a never-before published 20-pager that was going to be the sequel to the original series, and there's the Epic series, which I'll also revise.

I haven't looked. It may be that someone's BitTorrenting the Epic issues already.

Thought I should ask: Are you okay with people downloading this BitTorrent file?

Will Shetterly said...

Mike, the obsessive artist part of me wishes that material would disappear from the universe, 'cause I'm much happier with the version in progress. I comfort myself with thinking that someone really obsessive might be interested in comparing the versions. Heck, someone may prefer the original version.

I haven't asked Vince about it, but he's always been really cool with people getting stuff that's not available otherwise.

The Bit Torrent has proved useful for me. A while after I posted this, I decided I should check out the file. It's well done. So I've quit scanning pages myself and have been using the Bit Torrented one. When I collect this in a book someday, I should remember to thank the Bit Torrent community.

So, is that a "Yes, it's okay?"

Will Shetterly said...

Mike, very kind of you to ask for the Artist's Official Stance on File Sharing, which, now that I think of it, should be a FAQ on every artist's home page.

Yep, as far as I'm concerned, Bit Torrenting my work is fine.
