Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
Norwegian site rehosting dozens of comics (including QC)
Jimor:
Ugh, so not cool. http://comics.jodal.no/
There's a feedback box on the site to let this guy know what he's doing is not only illegal, but damaging to the many artists he pretends to support.
jwhouk:
Clicking on the link, however, gives him traffic to his website.
Maybe find out who his IP host is and report him for illegal activity.

It looks like he's set up a script to automatically load and archive whatever he considers to be the "Top webcomics" on the web, since he does give credit underneath each strip entry with the url he originally got them from.
Not technically illegal, since he is giving credit and sources.
There are other similar aggregator sites for different media (though the next nearest site I can think of does the same thing for news stories, plus it is far more professional-looking as far as the interface goes).
akronnick:
Saying who you stole it from doesn't make it not stealing.
It's still stealing.
There is no fair use justification for what this site is doing. He's simply stealing traffic, and therefore ad revenue from the artists involved.
IMMANotListening:
I wasn't aware people could do something like that. The whole stealing of that many comics and traffic, I mean, not the scripting.
Considering how much material he's trafficking, shouldn't someone have called him out by now?
