Zines and the Internet

Zines and the internet are a complex issue. Some people argue that old zines should be published online for everyone to see, similar to a historical artifact, while others are staunchly against it. Regardless there are many different issues to consider. One is copyright. Considering the makeup of zines, which contain many different aspects of uncredited work, as well as the authors themselves who can hardly be contacted for permission, copyright is a difficult issue to navigate when it comes to zines.[1] Additionally, while uploading pictures of a zine to the internet would preserve it, it also defeats the purpose of the medium, which is handmade and has many charms to it.[1]
