I agree with you. But the stories that I'm scanning (and not only mine
scans) is already published in Europe (or the most of them). So, I think
that any European disney fan have already a copy of these stories. In U.S.A.
there are not disney comics. Where the fans will find their favourite story?
Well, they can order issues from Europe, or they can read the stories from
the web. Finally, a good fan is not the fan who is collecting scanning
stories. I have a lot of Don Rosa's stories from KOMIX and I'll keep buying
it even if Komix publish a story that I already have in scans. The sense of
a story in the paper, the coloring, the quality is much better than the
scanned stories. Apart from quality, all (or the most) the scanned stories
are in English. Someone who can't read english in a right way, he must wait
until his country's disney magazine will publish it. So, not all the scanned
stories are familiar with their readers. All of us want the original copies
from the disney magazines (Komix, Picsou, Zio Paperone, Anders And, Anku
Ankka and many-many other good magazines) we like, not only the scans.
With the scanned stories we're giving a chance to all the Don Rosa's fans to
read some stories that are unpublished in the U.S.A. And think about: we
don't want money for doing that. We only doing that because we want it to
do. Internet is a free world, arts must be free in both real and Internet
worlds. And comics IS an art.
