So because I was curious, I decided to do some research on the pirate sites. The conclusion I came to is that Amazon and Comixology aren& #39;t the root of piracy, part of the problem, but not the root. 1/
I ran a test of comics that I backed on crowdfunding sites, and are currently on Comixology and Kindle, and ran them against several comic piracy sites. I& #39;ll also link the names of the creators so that you can follow them, and support them. 2/
Flying Sparks by @jondelarroz has been on Kindle for over a year now, and hasn& #39;t been pirated. Possibly because there isn& #39;t a recognizable publisher behind it, nor a comic store release. 4/ https://www.amazon.com/Flying-Sparks-Jon-Del-Arroz/dp/9527303419/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Flying+Sparks&qid=1574710947&sr=8-1">https://www.amazon.com/Flying-Sp...
The Wicked Righteous by @mayotl was pirated, which it looks like they were following the series from the very beginning. Odd since they generally wait until something like a Kickstarter. 7/ https://www.comixology.com/The-Wicked-Righteous/comics-series/85990?ref=cHVibGlzaGVyL3ZpZXcvZGVza3RvcC9saXN0L3Nlcmllc0xpc3Q">https://www.comixology.com/The-Wicke...
Comixology has its problems, but comic piracy isn& #39;t going to be solved by taking your books off the platform, if its one they& #39;re determined to have on the site, they& #39;re going to have it, especially with the vast amount of pre-digital comics on there.
By the last line, I mean with comic piracy sites.
