Could this tactic actually work? It's so crazy it might just work.

Downvote for stolen comic.

Here's a link to the original: http://www.explosm.net/comics/2321/

Please give webtraffic to comic creators, not image hosting sites. Credit where credit is due.

Someone tell the real author, op is getting imaginary Internet points he doesn't deserve!

[–]WhatISayIsNotTrue 1 point2 points ago

What the fuck? No shit, sherlock. Cyanide & Happiness is a veeeeery popular online comic. Chances are waaay more than not, if you see this post, you'll know who it's by.

Ah! Excuse me. I completely forgot about the "But it's very popular!" loophole when it comes to stealing.

[–]WhatISayIsNotTrue -1 points0 points ago

I really hope you're trolling.

[–]Loki5654 -1 points0 points ago

Hope away.

I'm just sticking up for copyright holders and calling a thief a thief.

Are.....are you new here?

[–]Loki5654 -2 points-1 points ago

Nope. I'm just one of those people who respect people and the things they make. Unlike thieves.

It saves people time, I could have easily posted a link. Im not claiming it as mine.

[–]Loki5654 -1 points0 points ago

And the ever-useful "I'm not claiming it as mine so it isn't stealing!" argument makes an appearance.

Always a favorite.

[–]kwaylub[S] 1 point2 points ago

I'm going back to r/trees where no one argues.

[–]kwaylub[S] 1 point2 points ago

You win, I guess I'm a thief. Cuff me

It also DOES NOT say the originating web site. That counts as a listed source. Suck my dick.

[–]Loki5654 -2 points-1 points ago

Never said anything about listing a source. I'm talking about linking TO the source.

That's how comic creator's make their money, right? That by taking their comic and putting it up on another site, you are taking money away from the creator and giving it to another site?

Did you learn nothing from the Oatmeal/FunnyJunk debacle?
