I got this link off Ctrl Alt Delete. I've sent emails off to Phil Foglio, and PvP.

Note...this guy is linking Order of the Stick so he can sell adds on his apps. After everything Rich went through on his fundraising, this is a kick in the shorts.

I didn't see an email to contact Rich, so I'm hoping he sees this, or someone can contact him.

The guy WILL unlink a webcomic, if Ctrl Alt Delete can do it, so can Rich!

DailyComix Unpublished
Mar 14, 2012
In the last few days, I have received hundreds of emails - most from comic publishers - asking for their comics to be removed from DailyComix. While I am happy to remove them on request, it seems that none of the supported publishers would remain once all comics were removed. Therefore, there is no point to continue maintaining DailyComix. There is also something I should clarify regarding our app - we did not steal from the artists, writers, or publishers of webcomics. Our app linked users to comics that were hosted (freely available) on the Internet. We never claimed that any copyrighted work was ours, and we did not host any copyrighted information on our app or servers. We are not in violation of copyright. We also did not make any significant money from publishing our app on the Android Market. To be honest, the income from this app was less than it cost us to run the webservices on which the app depends. I seriously doubt that our app has had any significant impact on publishers' income - and I am confident that this can be verified with the statistics that both myself and publishers collect.

I love the "I didn't do anything wrong though" backpedaling.


YES YOU DID. THAT'S WHY NOBODY AGREED TO IT.

I'm glad to see that it's been taken down, even if the developer still doesn't understand the difference between "free" and "public domain."

At any rate, this has now been dealt with, so thread locked.
