I'd agree with what Captain DJ writes re. getting DCM and CB+ more popular, as I have seen some tables at local marts and cons with dvd's of scans offered for sale, many of which are from the 2 sites. By your standards I'm a small time scanner, more a digger, but even I am seeing some of my work on offer. The dealers selling those discs have little to fear from ebay, other auction sites or the organisers at marts challenging them, even for new, non pd material.
The content on discs comes from a variety of sources, not only pd material from here. As a contributor to one of the British only scan collections - which does not hold any new, current material - I note that members on there regularly find their hard work, which is done for the love of comics and strips, offered for sale in a number of places. And of course Boutje has a lot of pd and non pd content from many sources incl. DCM, CB+, S......a and others. The point is, it's all free and getting over to punters that they should use DCM and support it and the likes isn't easy. Heaven only knows how many folk I've told about this site and CB+ and still they are so lazy and daft, they continue to pay for the stuff from dealers. I just don't get it!
I realise some of you may differ from my opinion of non-pd, fallen flag and orphaned titles and companies, but in the end we all are in this for the betterment of the hobby and are prepared to keep giving our time and effort for free. So keep access free, please, as it's the main way of keeping this important treasury for all who are and might become interested in comics.
