Hello Everyone, I have not been on these pages for ages (2 years?) but I have continued to enjoy the OOTS comic in that time.
On that subject, while perusing another comic I read, I noticed a notice about a tumbler article about an Android developer that seems to be stealing the comic from the rss feed and placing them in an application surrounded by advertisements to make money.
As far as I know, none of the comic owners were asked permission, or are getting paid for this.
In other words, it is blatant thievery.
Also, OOTS is one of the comics listed as "supported".

At any rate, I would be contacting the owner of OOTS, except I am unaware as to how to do this, as well as in a hurry as I am in the process of contacting about every other comic writer I follow.

Therefore I was hoping one of you fine ladies or gentlemen who knows how to contact the writer does so.

At any rate, a link to the actual story: http://chrishanel.tumblr.com/post/19196576643/spread-the-word-theft-is-theft

Yeah, quite a few threads have already popped up about this. Too lazy to link to them, though.

Well that's good to hear.
Sorry I've posted a thread on something already discussed.
