I wonder what the hacker community and Inman's fan base collective reaction would have been if FunnyJunk downloaded Inman's work off of Pirate Bay instead.

- ktizo 14y agoI suspect that this is more about funnyjunk demanding $20,000 for him publicly complaining about them hosting his work without asking. A more accurate metaphor would be if the pirate bay tried to sue HBO for calling them names, which I doubt would sit well with even the most ardent of tv torrent fans.
- vacri 14y agoIf you look at Inman's articles, he lists hundreds of URLs, with scores of them being repeats of the same comic. This is a systematic problem, not a 'whoops, one accident' issue.
- darkarmani 14y agoWhat and then sued him $20,000 after downloading? What exactly is your point?
