Can I put comics that I own and scanned on the Internet for others to enjoy?!
Question: I am scanning my collection of comic books. I am willing to make them available for free for anyone interested in viewing them, but would that be some sort of copyright infringement?

It is legal to make a backup of anything you own despite what they want you to believe and tell you but putting them up on the Internet would be against the law unless the material is in the public domain and there are some golden age titles that are, issues of Phantom Lady are amongst those.
It probably would be, just like the music industry they don't like stuff being copied.
Yes, just scanning them and putting them online is a form of publishing and therefore copyright infringement. If you create some sort of art using parts of a comic book then that would fall under the umbrella of "fair use."
This is a major copyright infringement. When you scan the comic and put it in public view, you are making it possible for other people to get the content from the comic without paying the people who produced the comic.
No, you may own a copy but you do not own the copyright to it. You also aren't allowed to photo copy them. There is also a rule in the copyright for CDs and DVDs that it is illegal for you to lend them to people.
