thank you
I have a s.f. magazine and I would enjoy the idea of posting it on DCM.
First I would need to translate it into English, and that would take some time...
The printing rights and the copyright would remain solely with me though?
Because it is to early  to become public domain.
greetings
Nikos

DCM has a 'nothing printed after 1959 rule'.
The staff has never talked about sharing PD books where we Do have the permission of the copyright holder.
Best to share it on GAC for now.

Friends you would have to give me some time, since it is 40 pages long of translating.
What is the site of GAC for this job?

Also a question is if what is put up by DCM is all public domain. If that is the case then one can reprint those comics or parts of them, without obligaqtion?

have a nice weekend, Nikos

Nikos, basically, that's it, but...

The short version is that public domain basically means open ownership.  So, at least in the United States (I'll explain in a second), each of us "owns the rights," and can do what we want.

Outside the United States, the same probably applies, but check your local laws to make sure that your local laws recognize the idea of a public domain and that the copyright laws don't magically (and stupidly) apply to foreigners.  I think Greece is smarter than that, but one never knows what anybody's politicians have been bullied into passing in the name of globalization.

Also, when it's your own neck on the line, always check the copyrights for yourself anyway.  If it's here, we probably checked the rights, but a lot got grandfathered in (as in, "everybody else calls it public domain") and something can sneak through as a part of the comic without our noticing.  Plus, if someone mistakenly sues you, your own research will carry much more weight than "some guys on the Internet said it'd be OK."  And if you're wrong, your research will limit the damages.

I am 53 at the moment.
Been reading comics forever. As a youngster only bought them used at garage sales and Salvation Army stores.
It did not dawn on me until I was about 13 that I could go down to the drugstore to purchase them new!!!

Hallo to everyone !

 I began reading comic books when I was seven years old. Tarzan drawn by Russ Manning and late Jesse Marsh were my favourite artists.

Well,just 62 years young, distinctly remember my Aunt raiding my stuff on a visit and confiscating my FF#1 and burning it because it would "make me a juvinille delinquent". My parents had a fit, I had been reading comics since I was 5, and was a straight-A honor student. Could have probably paid for my graduate schooling with that one. Aunt was told to mind her own business and my room was locked thereafter whenever she showed up.

I also lost a lot of comics being torn to pieces, but then again such is war, we loose some good ones..
