Access is indeed an issue. For example, there are several Spanish and Italian comic artists who's stuff I absolutely love. I bought every printed book I could find by them but they have many books that are unavailable in my home country. My only option for reading these books are what is known as scanlations, which are pirated comics that have been scanned and translated by amateurs. This irks me for a few reasons: 1. I prefer to read paper comics. 2. There is no way to pay the authors. 3. The quality of translations may be questionable. 4. The scanning may not be very well done. I believe there is a lot of money to be made out there if companies would just wake up and realize that the old regional models are costing them money.
