*split* A conspiracy comic website?

They might be made into a book, and the proceeds from it would be donated to the families of 9/11 victims...

ETA: enigma beat me...
 
I have been told but that is not information I wish to share in mixed company...well actually I do but I won't :D
 
I set up an account there, but there doesn't seem to be any way to add previously-created comics to it. And I don't feel like re-rolling all of these. I've got some webspace, maybe I'll try to set up a PHP/database thing to hold them.

You'd have to first get permission from stripgenerator.com to publish any of them, which I doubt they'd give.

Nice idea, but my concern would be whether the strip-generator site owns the copyright to the comics? If you were going to do something like that, they might need to be re-drawn by hand.

It would be a unique approach to debunking, that's for sure. And we all know how much having published a book counts to CTers.
 
I have them all saved and could post them on a website (and I can look into the copyright issue to see whether that is an impediment to publishing them in a book - eta: assuming there is no copyright impediment, though, I would think that an alternative posting as a downloadable PDF might be sufficient rather than an actual book publishing... just my initial thoughts on the matter)

Yes, I've been reading through the site and it appears at first blush as though there is no copyright issue if cartoons generated by using the site are not used for commercial purposes. The site encourages the use of its strip generator to further cartoon-drawing by individuals, in fact.

Girls and boys working on stripgenerator are from different backgrounds and with different profiles, but mainly operating in internet gaming and mobile content fields. Stripgenerator is free of charge project created to embrace the internet blogging and strip creation culture, helping the people with no drawing abilities to express their opinions via strips. Yeah, I am one of them as well.

Here is the team, located in Slovenia...

However, if the cartoons were to be used for commercial purposes, it appears that further discussion with the site owners would be required.

So far stripgenerator.com application has been used in some very successful projects, like for BAR TV reality show and for using it for political online cartoon creation for a known newspaper in USA.

If the conspiracy cartoons were, therefore, to be made freely available on the internet on a site that is not connected to the strip generator site, and not for sale, there is likely no problem. However, if the cartoons were to be published in a book for sale, I would think that the site would have to be consulted and permission granted.

Considering the publishing will be to raise funds for family of 9/11 victims, you really think they will say........NO?

No, I suspect that they would say yes - unless they are 'truthers" (I've never heard of any Slovenian troofers to date, though) - but permission would still need to be obtained.

If they were truthers and would not give permission in spite of the fact that the proceeds were going to the families of the victims, what message would that be giving about truthers?

The same message that "truthers" give about the victims every time they open their mouths - that they don't give a damn about the victims.

*Disclaimer: I am not suggesting for a second that the proprietors of the stripgenerator site are troofers.
