Look at that traffic spike after January of this year from way under 5K to a fast trend above 20K. Looks like too many eyes got on the site...

Am I the only one who finds it coincidental that the ipad comes out and suddenly htmlcomics.com gets a permanent smackdown?

I'm sure this guys life is going to be ruined because of the site and his insane legal reasoning that it was just a library. He should have consulted an actual copyright attorney at some point and saved himself tons of trouble. Hilariously enought it looks like he did try to seek out legal advice via a website http://boards.answers.findlaw.com/n/pfx/...usine&tid=54640 but didn't agree with what people there were saying too.
Had he spent two minutes looking at how libraries actually handle copyrighted content--which is never to make it available online since it's too easy to copy--he would've realized that his attempt to define his site as a "library" was just an ego trip and a complete waste of time.

As I've mentioned (and blob confirmed) our local libraries DO allow online, digital checkout of books. I'm not supporting htmlcomics, but wanted to clarify that point.
