		<description>Well, I checked out the new Wowio today for the first time. No free downloads unless a sponsor &#039;gifts&#039; it to you, like the breastcancer people are doing for the &quot;Articles and Essays&quot; section. 

If I want to read a webcomic online I&#039;ll go to the author&#039;s website to read it and click on some of his advertiser&#039;s links to help out there. I see no benefit to &#039;reading it free online&#039; at Wowio - how does that help the author? 

Also, even though Scott said he was going to do this, I&#039;m not seeing any Dreamland Chronicles books on the current site. 

Did you change your mind about this, Scott? Or is there just something I&#039;m missing - the books definitely are not under the Graphics Novels section as of Aug. 5.</description>

		<description>I honestly have mixed feelings about the Wowio change. See, I felt I was helping to contribute to the authors by downloading these books, and did it without putting me in dept (hey I&#039;m broke!). I enjoyed being able to download a comic and then read it at my leasure. However, if I&#039;m reading this correctly, the download version I&#039;d have to pay for our of pocket, right? I can only read it online for free. Well, this isn&#039;t that great for me. Perhaps better for you and the publisher - and I&#039;m glad for that if it is. But as for me as a reader .. not so perfect.
Ah well. All great things end eventually I suppose. Viva la Sava!</description>

		<description>Thanks for referring me to that rebuttal, Jake - interesting reading. Particularly the stuff about DJ Coffman. His seems to be the loudest dissenting voice, but I haven&#039;t noticed any other actual creators or people who have had direct dealings with Platinum complaining. Does anyone know of any other creators with similar grounds for complaint? 

I received my contract, and it looks like the rights to my property as a creator remain intact. The only thing I notice is that the creators share of the revenue streams does seem a little low, especially since the new contract essentially says that Wowio will have the right to create a webcomic out of my ebooks, and I would only get 20% of any advertising that they tell me they make off it. On the other hand, if this is revenue I would not have seen otherwise then something is better than nothing. I guess it all depends on whether I see it as cannibalizing my exisiting traffic or adding to it.</description>
