But I keep hoping that they've got some sort of motive aside from money, because Marvel Entertainment can't be doing too badly in the money category considering all the successed they've had by themselves.

Financial security. Yeah, Marvel's films have been doing very well lately, but comic book publication hasn't been doing exceedingly well for anyone since the late nineties. Having a large financial backer has kept DC afloat for years. This was a sensible business decision from Marvel's standpoint and serves to solidify the company at the ground level, giving them opportunity to take a few more risks with their licenses. Certain licenses Marvel probably couldn't have supported and marketed on their own (Such as the impending Namor and Ant Man movies) will now have a big time financial backer that can help them out.

Okay? Ummm...context maybe?
Border Reiver:
Yes, because the small business person who purchased the comics to sell to you will totally be reimbursed by The Mouse for their losses. That level of theft only hurts the little guy, you schmuck!

That's presuming he wasn't referring to downloading them and that he only has an independent comic shop near him. Where I live there's a Forbidden Planet as well as Borders and Waterstones selling comics (although in the last two cases only trade paperbacks and graphic novels). Happily our local independent shop seems to be doing well despite the competition, probably because in their smaller space they have a better collection than the chains combined.

I think he's referring to not purchasing them at all. On the other hand I don't see you purchasing much of what Marvel has to offer nowdays anyway.
