"He doesn't care if he takes someone's work without their permission and copys and sells it. Which is absolutely horrible and a juvenile opinion to have. "

"as in you don't care if people use material from your zines, or as in you don't think it's a big deal to copy other people's zines and distro them? "

"I think it's fine if you copy and distro zines that explicitly say it is okay to do so. However, it's going to be on your dime, since most of these zines are intended to be for free. Is distroing a business? As in a money maker? - hell…"

Zine Distro Etiquette, Copyright and Submissions

My name is Sonia and I run the Mimi Reproductive Health Zine Distro.(http://mimizinedistro.wordpress.com/) It's a feminist/DIY/queer distro focusing on diy health, feminist hystory, consent, assault prevention and personal narratives. The Zine tradition that i come from is through punk in the 90's, and anti-globalization/anti-oppression/earth liberation activism in the 2000's.

Profile Information

i run a feminist reproductive health zine distro on wordpress: mimizinedistro.wordpress.com. I'm currently looking for titles to add to the library, and hope that folks will help me promote this rad body of zine literature into the world.
