if you mean sites like www.thewebcomiclist.com, then personally i don't mind at all. my strip is still fairly young and i appreciate the hits i get. as long as it directs traffic to my site and doesn't pull my work and post it on another site.
i'd be interested to hear if there are any disadvantages though.
I am referring more to programs like iComic and ComicTastic, which have drawn fire for removing ads, and removing comics from the context of their pages.
Well, a program like those, that didn't remove ads, and that didn't remove comics from the context of their pages, would probably not draw fire.
Just guessing here.

Yeah, I'd have no problem with something that did that. Web browsers do a pretty good job.
One of my friends back in Atlanta wrote a program for he and his buddies at GT that basically just came up with links when the comic updated, so you would only have to check it that day and could use the list without having to worry about bookmarks. I liked that a lot, both as a reader and an author.
Well, the main sticking point about both of those apps isn't just that they remove the storefront of a comic, it's that they do this without asking the webcomicker's permission.
If there was a system that only allowed inclusion of a comic after the creator opts-in (and not otherwise), people would be much friendlier to it.
