Good tool, but comics definitions become more and more outdated.
by Hans Deragon - Jul 8th 2005 17:31:35
It is a good tool, but not maintained anymore (latest change dates August
25th, 2003). Many comics definitions are now out of date and thus these
comics are not downloaded anymore.

We're Back!

Keenspot refused to answer further emails and provide a legal reason for me
to stop, so development has resumed (hopefully for good).

Discontinuation of Development
by Andrew Medico - Mar 19th 2001 19:24:12
I regret that I must inform the users of dailystrips that, for the time
being, I can no longer
distribute dailystrips. As some users have already become aware of,
certain publishers object
to using dailystrips to make publicly available pages (some of the pages
concerned were simply
private workstations that happened to be available to the internet at
large - they were not
even meant to be public). This I can understand, as it can be seen as
unauthorized
redistribution and copyright infringement. Fortunately, the publisher of
The Thin H Line,
though initially quite unfriendly, did not pursue the matter once the page
in question was no
longer publicly available. Another publisher, Keenspot
(http://www.keenspot.com), has not been
so reasonable. They found one site displaying a few of their strips less
than two weeks ago and
are now insisting that I cease distribution of my program. They do not
care that it is intended
for personal use only - they claim that manner of use to be just as
illegal as making a
publicly available website. I obviously do not agree with this argument
but unfortunately do
not have the means to legally contest it. Instead, I will be informing
them that their
unfriendly actions have lost them a once-loyal reader and that I will no
longer be reading any
of their comics, in any form.
Their comics are:
Life's So Rad
It's Walky!
Lost and Found Investigations
General Protection Fault
Clan of the Cats
College Roomies From Hell!!!
Cool Cat Studio
Exploitation Now
The Class Menagerie
Nukees
Joe Average
Sinfest
They also represent represent:
Goats
Sluggy Freelance
I encourage everyone who uses dailystrips to let Keenspot know that their
actions have lost
them another reader. I hope we can show them that acting like this will
get them nowhere.
Although there is nothing I can do at this time, I will be looking for
options and hopefully
this situation will not be permanent.
Andrew

Great script (+warning)
by Remco Brink - Mar 8th 2001 05:56:40
This is a great script, especially if you like having your
lunchbreak in front of your workstation.
Thanks a lot to Andrew Medico for making this.
Just to make your life easier (and v1.0.11 and newer warn you for this),
make sure that
you run this script on a place that is not
accessable to the internet (use .htaccess to shield it for example) since
this will probably result in a copyright violation.
It took me about 2 retrievals to get the people behind "The Thin H Line"
to scream cease and desist.
Be warned, but still go and install this now on your workstation and enjoy
a great script.
