[...] While I’m discussing picture sources, thought I’d offer an update on how my campaign to add grabs has been going since I last discussed it: [...]

Well, actually, I forgot something there. the “//” in the address.

In other words, http://24thecomicstrip.livejournal.com. ^_^
As for the useage of the logo and all, it doesn’t worry me, since this is fair use parody and I don’t make a dime off of the whole project. With all the parody going on with youtube and newgrounds and basically the whole internet, unless I make a penny from this, I have a good argument should I ever get a C&S letter, which would be kinda cool, actually. ^^

Zoog - Was I missing something, or are there no comics there yet? I also suspect that trademark law might effect your comic as much or more than copyrights, especially having Twenty Four in the name, and I know even less about trademarks.

Anyway, here’s a good source on fair use:

What a crock of sh…urley fine entertainment!
Seriously, I know what you mean about fair use parody. I started me a new comic strip *cough* http:24thecomicstrip.livejournal.com *cough about my beloved 24, but it’s all hand-drawn, save for a few clock images. I was contemplating starting a linked site in MySpace, but Fox recently bought it, and I really don’t like the idea of sticking my noggin in the lion’s mouth, as it were.

Needless to say, as tough as it is to understand the vague jargon of fair use, I felt since I’m not profiting from it and certainly not defaming it that it could only help to promote the show.
Seven weeks in, Rupert Murdoch has yet to complain. *knocks on wood*

Good on you for taking this route, Gersh.

Good question - it really depends on the material and my mood. If it’s really at home in amongst the existing grabs (eg looks like it came off air on from channel negative 156) then it might go into rotation. Mind you the closest anybody’s come to giving me material that I put into the permanent rotation (apart from a few user contris to Turkey Day, which are really outside of the regular rotation) was rickubis, who included about eight extra PD movies when he submitted grabs for Turkey Day back in ‘02. A few of them were used back when I was showing a feature every weekday, and are finally in rotation now that all the feature films are. The rest would be going into the rotation with them, if I could find the darn disc.

If it’s in some other category, I’d probably schedule a special. Usually I try to do at least two runs of any special in order to accomodate day and evening and east and west coast cappers.

Question (and your post was more interesting than the usual blog entry by about 800 %): If I actually get around to contributing my stock of privately owned images (the good/cappable ones, that is), a thing I’ve been contemplating now and then amid the business, business, business… will they stay in rotation if they’re good enough and I give permission? or will they be one-shot? (Granted that you allow them even one showing, that is. Heh.)
