Marvel dot Comics

Let me get this straight, it's $5 a month for something worse than what I can get for free at any number of torrent sites (Personal knowledge of which I will strenuously deny.)? Yeah, this about sums it up.

It's consistently amazing to me how the content providers of yore - whether it's television or music or, yes, even comics - are so deliberately obtuse about this sort of thing. Comics have been distributed digitally for years now, the market's been there for these companies to take advantage of with a convenient, affordable, simple service. But, instead, they're more worried about clutching their intellectual property rights to their chest and screaming at people to go away and get it for free.
