Assembled Extra: Jay Gunn On His View Of Comics Piracy

It's not something we talk about with as much frequency as we did five to ten years ago, but here's a piece from a creator named Jay Gunn on his frustrations confronting comics piracy regarding a book he does called Surface Tension. I think the strongest part of his piece is the reminder that the wildly different economic contexts in which comics exist obviate a lot of the easy, broad justifications for this kind of thing.

I remain convinced this is best seen as a creators rights issue rather than a rolling argument of dueling conjectural economic models. I think you should be allowed to sell your work any way you like and any way you're able, and I think you should be able to opt out of any system you don't care for. Other people should not have the right to make those decisions for you.
