LOEG: The Black Dossier only in the US!!!
« on: 03 September 2007, 04:12:05 PM »
Latest news for the next instalment of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The Black Dossier, report that the book will only be released in the USA due to dubious IP reasons!

http://www.comp.dit.ie/dgordon/League/loeg0023.html

Shame on the publishers! Shame on the IP-hype! Where will all this end up to? Next time I'll loose my board name because somebody revises the IP for Treasure Island?

I need to get this book when it will be released, so maybe somebody from across the ocean will privately send me one?

Thanks in advance ...

did you try to use proxies anonymisers ?
it's a system that make the request with another IP.

I don't have a site on mind but just look on google and you will find one.

It´s not about "Internet Protocol" adresses, but "Intellectual Property" issues, namely that various characters in the book are not yet in the public domain outside of the U.S....

EDIT: Oh, and it´s a shame. And it reminds me to call back my issue of the first LoEG collection.

Well, of course I pre-ordered the book a long time ago at Amazon, but the question is, will they deliver it to Europe at all?

Anyway, I'll get the book somehow ...

Got a mail from Amazon yesterday telling me that my pre-ordered Black Dossier will not be available at all! My order is cancelled.  :x  :cry:

Would anybody be able to get it directly from the US, or would anybody there send it to me? Will pay through PayPal.

Thanks,
