Hervé St-Louis On Copyright, Public Domain And What I Would Prefer
posted August 22, 2009
 

Hello Tom. I'm hoping that one day, someone will invite you and I to debate this issue as it concerns the comic book industry. I know you would prefer to act as if my opinion, shared by many and even the position of publishers such as DC Comics should not exist. But unfortunately as you may have observed by now, shutting out ideas and wanting them out of an industry only makes them more real. If you go to the APE convention in October or any similar convention, I'd gladly join you there if someone could sponsor a panel and I would debate you and show you that your opinions are dead wrong and that eventually, history will agree with my position.
