Yes, he told Marvel about the scans of the comic he wrote (he only told them it existed, not to take it down), but photobucket took it down before Marvel could. Photobucket was unhappy with what scans_daily was doing. It didn't matter if Marvel was willing to accept the site, photobucket didn't. http://www.peterdavid.net/index.php/2009/02/28/scans-daily/ I can’t believe that people held grudges against Peter David months after it was over.

The old Scans_Daily didn't have as clear as rules and they where getting lax about them, but posting an entire issue was still a big "No No". BTW, it IS legal to post part of others works for review or critique, (Which what SD is doing) the amount of how much can be posted is debated in court a lot. Instead of shutting the old SD down, the rules should have been changed. Scans_Daily 2.0 now has a fixed rule of how much can be posted and ways publishers and creators can get things taken down if they want. Peter David you got SD taken off of LJ, I will not be buying anything you write. I have in the past enjoyed your work, but because of this I will not buy any more of it.

I's jus' sayin'... then he could have his will be his resurrection story! Anyway, never heard of scans_daily either. I'm a bit with and against the debate on here, as I'm poor and like my software/movies/comics/etc and can fins them for free on the net BUT also an artist in my own right and if I knew people were outright stealing the things that would allow me to buy more of the aforementioned items I like I'd be mad as hell. Ah, such a vicious circle I live in. Thank goodness for Demonoid and the fact that no one can resell a theatrical stage performance for cash! ~JYH Peter David SHOULD die in a fire.

It was always more about discussing comics than pirating them. Hell, I rarely read the new comics posted there unless I'd already read them legally and in full.

A year ago I wished to use a copyrighted image as my avatar on another website, but was uncertain as to the legality of it, so I checked. Using a single image as an avatar counts as private use, and therefore doesn't break any laws. @Random Enconter

Did it have the prior permission of Marvel? Well, obviously not because if it did it wouldn't have been shut down. So how was it different?

(And also found this webcomic via s_d.) The community was mainly for the discussion and comments, and having the scans there right in front of your eyes helped that. People also used it to pimp out the more obscure comics they liked. And scans_daily had its unique culture that was quite different from any other comic forum I've seen. I do download scans occasionally (and buy the ones I like; the other option would be not to follow American mainstream comics at all), and the places I go to have different agendas and aren't like scans_daily at all. Incidentally, isn't your icon breaking the copyright law, too? For what’s it’s worth, I second Shana. (And also found this webcomic via s_d.)
