People making money off of covers

Should we interfere?

[SMMM]

I think so, considering it's a terrible deal.  $3 for one insert + SHIPPING?  JEEZE, our Speed Racer from CAG can do $1.25 shipped..

PM him a cease and desist or something and if he doesnt then just post in that thread.

I'll go in there and make a post.

You're never going to be able to stop people doing things like this. It's a side effect of us creating covers... someone will always offer a printing service for those who dont have the ability to do it themselves. At least this person

1. Indicated where he got the scans from
2. Offers scans with or without boxes.

So while I disagree with what he's doing at least by advertising Snack-bar he's given people the ability to source their own covers.

Snowcone .... get on to the forum and reiterate that the covers have always been free to download etc and that's all that we need to say in this matter.

So I've given it some thought and I think the better solution would be for me to just start selling cases and pre-printed inserts.

That way if there is money to be made, it goes back into the project and not to someone leeching off of our hard work.

Actually, that's a great idea Snowcone.  Especially since you can only buy universal cases in boxes of 100, and I'm guessing DVD cases are also only cheap in bulk (never bought any).  that way someone who just wants a few can buy them with the covers already in them from you.

I just have to figure out the business end of things and make sure I don't get into a tax mess over it. Although as long as I don't make over $600 then I don't have to claim it.

Yeah, DVD cases are cheapest in bulk. I just sold off about half of my DVD cases, though I also have a ton of the Universal Game Cases as well too.

Is this still going to happen, because I would definitely like to buy some?
