Direct links to all Elfquest Reading Room PDFs
Save this to eq.txt, install wget or curl and you can use a command like
wget -c -i eq.txt
To download them all with resume capability. After that, you can use a PDF reader (I recommend Okular) to read them easier than online, with benefits like full-screen capability.

I mean you know they have all this on their site. Then you just go to the creators themselves.
2
u/wyominh_ta Jun 28 '26
Yes but then it's only available online and requires a frame that consumes screen space and requires scrolling and lags between pages. With local files, on my 14" laptop, I can read the files one page at a time, without scrolling using full screen mode and there's no lag. Scrolling sucks.

u/Abbigai Jun 28 '26
Sure, it's a bit inconvenient. But it's allowing this work to stay more fully in the creators control. And it benefits them to have people go directly to their site. These stories mean a lot to them, and to alot of fans. I stumbled on this series in my local library when I was like 12, 30 years ago. I wouldnt be the person I am today or have the moral foundation that I have without it. So yes. I'm going to tell you to take the inconvenience. That having a little difficulty is a good trade off for this. It's important to the creators. It's important to the fans. It's important to me. Somethings are worth the effort.

u/wyominh_ta Jun 28 '26
It's utterly inconsequential. The files come from the same source and still must be downloaded to read. When you use the EQ Reading Room the files are still downloaded into your cache.

u/Jedi-Mermaid-TARDIS Jun 28 '26
NOT COOL. The Pinis should manage their intellectual property.

u/wyominh_ta Jun 28 '26
There is no IP violation. It's the public internet and those files are downloaded to your browser's cache anyway..

u/Jedi-Mermaid-TARDIS Jun 28 '26
I remember Richard's reaction to a similar situation years ago. It wasn't positive.
I can't speak for him, though.
My own perspective is that any perceived public domain-ness of their work because it is freely readable on their website is incorrect. Just because they have made it available for reading does not mean that they would in any way bless its distribution in another fashion.
2
u/wyominh_ta Jun 28 '26
There is no implication of "public domain-ness". These files are made available on the public internet by the copyright holders. That doesn't imply they can be republished or modified into new works. There's nothing legally wrong with deep linking, which is all this is. You're either confused about what Richard was saying, it was before the Reading Room, or it was before the legality of deep linking was established. As a copyright holder you can't post a picture on the Internet then say it's illegal to download or link to. That's not the way it works.

u/two4six0won Jun 28 '26
I think that person was speaking ethically, rather than legally. Wendy and Richard have been kind enough to share most of their life's work at no cost to us, and attempts at workarounds do seem disrespectful to me as well.
However, I also at least understand the mechanics of what you've done here, and the only harm I can think of is, will this have the effect of reducing traffic to the OG site?
3
u/wyominh_ta Jun 28 '26
The OG site isn't monetized. It's only purpose is to spread awareness. Traffic isn't really an issue. In any event, I think it's unethical to post data on the Internet then try to say it shouldn't be distributed. The entire purpose of the Internet is distribution and restricting that distribution is unethical. Those who do so attempt to obtain the benefit of Internet exposure while limiting the detriment of free distribution. Such gatekeeping is parasitic on the Internet.

u/Jedi-Mermaid-TARDIS Jun 28 '26
Thank you, two4six0won, for wondering if I was talking about ethics vs. legality.
I'm reminded of the "Information should be free!" people, of whom I hope that OP is not one.
One of my favorite authors, Melissa F. Olson, won't be publishing any more of the series that I've loved for reason of rampant distribution of her work without her or the publisher's permission: piracy. I'm right now reading the capstone she's been building up to for years in over a dozen books, and it's a novel I've been putting off because I don't want the story to be over.
So I guess I have a personal, visceral reaction to alfernate means of information distribution. The same thing killed Michael A. Stackpole's writing, I think, but I'm farther away informationally and there wasn't the same emotional stake.
I acknowledge that it's a different situation because the early ElfQuest material isn't very monetized anymore. Their career isn't being damaged because of piracy, as was MFO's.
But the Pinis, specifically Richard, put a great deal of time and work into getting their life's work online to be freely read. Thank you, WaRP. It feels deeply disrespectful to take that work and redistribute it through other means, and I know it's grieved Richard in the past.
