NYC Area Volunteers needed


Posted Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

The CBLDF is in need of a few volunteers this week to help organize and record our inventory. We need a commitment of 8-16 hours this week, anytime before Sunday.

We have boxes of books that need to be counted, organized and final locations recorded. You’ll be working from a clipboard so clear penmanship is a must.

We will be restocking our books on shelves so warehouse or retail experience is strongly encouraged. Please be able to lift 50-60 lbs and be comfortable on a small ladder.

Please email brady.bonney@cbldf.org or cheyenne.allott@cbldf.org for the volunteer application.

We look forward to working with you!

The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and the Comic Legends Legal Defense Fund are pleased to announce that the Crown has withdrawn all criminal charges in R. v. Matheson, the case previously described as the “Brandon X case,” which involved a comic book reader who faced criminal charges in Canada relating to comic books on his computer. The defendant, Ryan Matheson, a 27-year-old comic book reader, amateur artist, and computer programmer has been cleared of any criminal wrongdoing.

The total legal costs of this case exceeded $75,000. After taking the case last summer, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund contributed $20,000 to the defense, and the Comic Legends Legal Defense Fund contributed $11,000. The CBLDF also participated in shaping the defense, including recruiting expert testimony for the trial. The organization is currently seeking funds to help pay off the $45,000 debt Matheson incurred as a result of his case, and to create new tools to prevent future cases. To make a contribution to these important efforts, please visit www.cbldf.org.
