Manga Publishers, Comics Creators React to the Apple iPad - 2 views

  • One thing the iPad does that the Kindle and other e-readers can't match (yet) is that it presents pages in color, which opens up all kinds of possibilities, especially for magazines, graphic novels and yes, manga

      Colour for manga??? Besides the first few pages of each chapter or album, they have been in black and white for the last 80 years! Actually, Kindle and other e-book readers were perfectly fit for manga!

    Several interesting issues are laid out here: that of access to more mangas, but also the issue of country-by-country copyrights, the potential censorship exerted by Apple on adult contents, the issue of format lock, etc.

Cartoon Law goes live in UK - 0 views

  • Today – April 6 2010 – is the day on which various sections of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 come into effect, including those (sections 62 to 68) that specifically criminalise possession of "a prohibited image of a child". The purpose of this offence is to "close a loophole" and to target certain non-photographic images of children, possession of which is not covered by existing legislation.

    Henceforth, you will be committing an offence if you possess non-real, non-photographic images that are pornographic, "grossly offensive, disgusting or otherwise of an obscene character" and focus on a child’s genitals or anal region, or portray a range of sexual acts "with or in the presence of a child".
