Some perfectly legal Young Justice
As much as I love YJ, there is an obvious barrier to me posting it here. Luckily, there's a handful of pages from Young Justice #22, by Todd's Dezago and Nauck.

The setup: This issue is pretty much filler after a major story arc (Sins of Youth), guesting various writers and artists. Superboy lost his powers, and is getting by on gadgets from Cadamus. While other characters are off learning lessons with their older counterparts, Bart and Secret decide to help out...

Funny, I never thought how Kon's costume here resembles his current pants and shirt "costume".

	As awesome as this post is, it's still not legal. Rules state that you can only have 1/3 of individual stories posted (unless they are 2 pages or less) and you've posted the whole story here. The issue from which it comes is longer yes, but made up of many stories from many authors. Sorry. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	In the case of comics with multiple stories, I believe you are allowed to print one of the smaller stories as long as it's not a third and nobody else posted the rest. Since, (I assume) the rest of the issue was written by Lord Voldemort, it's pretty safe to bet that it hasn't been posted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're incorrect. The rule is 1/3 of a story. Not 1/3 of an entire issue. http://asylums.insanejournal.com/scans_daily/328714.html (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's something we may look into after the move to Dreamwidth, but currently it stands, I'm afraid. The 1/3 rule tries to work within the spirit of fair use - it's hard to argue fair use if we allow, say, the entire Blue Beetle second feature from Booster Gold to be reproduced in full. DC would argue (rightly or wrongly, but certainly legally correctly) that they would lose sales from those who pick the book up just for Blue Beetle. The same for any other similar anthology book.

The link above explains the reasonings behind it in full.

	I can understand not doing it for the back-up stories going on right now, but for old stories like this? or stuff like the silver age crack that got posted (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Unfortunately it's hard to enforce unless it's a blanket ruling. Truth is the rights are still held by someone and those people always have lawyers on their side. DW's setup might allow us to be more flexible, but it's hard to settle on a rule that's fair for everyone and attempts to respect the rights holder. (Reply to this) (Parent)
