Is my site legel?
Many people have told me that i can have my site being called hobbes.tk And i am not aloud to put comics on my site. But i am not sure. I really dont want to be illegal in anyway 
Its here.. http://www.hobbes.tk
or http://www.hobbes.weirdfish.tk

are the comics copyrighted?
if they are, you could ask for permission to do it and have like a disclaimer at the bottom sayin they are copyrighted etc...
RE: Is my site legel? by .Roy on 03-28-2005 at 12:26 PM
i dont think i can get contact of the person who made it. Maybe if i put a copyright though... Would that be suffisiant?

erm. im not sure if stating that its copyrighted would be ok. it might be because your showing other people not to copy it without permission but you don't have the permission yourself
....well thats how i see it anyway....
EDIT: this may be of some help? its about sueing copyright infringers..im looking to see if it tells you if you are infringing atm.. http://www.copyrightservice.co.uk/copyright/p05_copyright_infringement

Yeah just keep doing it... a comic strip site compared to site's that leak software is hardly comparision. As you can't get copyright just put something like "every effort has been made to contact the owners' - however no contact was made. If these belong to you, please email me" etc
Good luck with the site

Let's face it - the Sunday Comics have been garbage since Bill Watterson went into retirement and took our favorite six year old with him. Relive the good ol' days!
The site was posted on Fark late last night, so it may be running a little slow. Hope Bill Watterson doesn't read Fark or this site will be shut down faster than Spaceman Spiff zipping through space in his spaceship.
