I guess from the previous postings there's either not much of a 'scene' for digitial stuff or people are reluctant to post for whatever reason. If anyone's interested PM me.

To the contrary, it's all extraordinary stuff. I think there's just a natural reluctance to clutter the thread with what could only be superfluous commentary. The files are the thing.

I totally agree.

Me, too.

The articles that interest me are the ones giving background to the films or series, as well as role-playing game material and comics.

I'm not too interested in having copies of just anything that happens to be Indy-associated, like the storybooks or Indy explores, but this thread is a great resource for those that want to see them.

I'm sure that I speak for everyone reading here, that if we discover a link to something, we'll post it here. So keep up the good work, JJ!

I think as a resource the thread excellent source of information but an issue I never anticipated, regarding the complete items, was resistance from fans who feel it devalues the items not necessarily in fianancial terms but in it's exclusivity. I don't feel this is done in an elilist manner maybe moral.

Prehaps we need to devise some guidlines as to what is or isn't acceptable as I would not like this thread to turn sour and stuff goes underground.

You've had that resistance?

To my mind a digital copy is never a substitute for the real thing. A digital copy is useful for reference, but it doesn't have the same feel good factor of possessing the actual book.

I also prefer to read the real thing when I can, rather than read on a screen.

Legally, there may be issues, but there are things like the magazines, and the role-playing material, that are out of print, and hard to obtain used. Presenting them digitally would have no effect on sales of these items, as they aren't available new. The only way to obtain them would be to pick them up second hand - so the market they affect is the second-hand one. Even then, if you only want to read an article, rather than possess the actual 'artifact', you aren't likely to pay much for it.

I recently downloaded The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings just so I could search the text, which would have taken hours to do by going through the copies on my shelves. So, digital copies of things also have that advantage.

As for the exclusivity of the items, as a fan I would want to share the images and text with other fans. It wouldn't occur to me to hoard these things as something secret and select.

For me, it's about being sensitive to people's concerns and to make sure that it's kept to a level where postings do not infinge copyright to a point of financial loss to the copyright owner.

And on that note...

Oh well, here's "Oklahoma Smith and the Lost Temple of the Doomed Raiders." About a page of the black and white comic parody is pornographic.

...and about one the page of the rest isn't pornographic! :D

Interesting link, Moedred! That was what I had in mind for the Indy/Spalko character development in KOTCS. ;)
