[Locked] Jacob is the one true Jew!

That was what he posted about two weeks ago and look where we are now.

There are some seriously angry /a/nons right now and I wouldn't be surprised if Fakku ends up getting dragged into this mess.

As for me I'm just trying to download all the stuff in my favorites that are still up. Luckily not too many got removed so far so I'm not too sad, but seriously Jacob fucked up and I'm sure he knows it.

Yeah, it's true though.

Any majors has its own advantages and flaws, I dont like thinking a major is superior than the other unless proven. I just like implementing what I learn.

The only group making profits off of this are Fakku and their staff, and Wani. The artists get shit, which is bad. How is that a good thing?

No, you actually are at the bottom of the totem pole with Liberal Arts major. Also this more of a legal kerfuffle. There's no guarantee people will suddenly use this service because an alternative one now has less variety, more than likely people will use a more convenient and free method. Also people will be wary of this new market that butted into the old one.

I'm sure removing digital ones that translate various different languages (Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Portugese, Russian) does nobody any favors.

Oh wow. Okay.

On a serious note, you are not wrong. I would bet 100 dollars of my money that someone will come up with a method somehow and be able to provide all the work that was deleted for free. And all of us (I mean, all of us) would go there.

BUT, if a new bill passed and shitstorm happens and this and that and we end up with only one source, it's not the end of the world (well it is for that guy)

EDIT: Did I ever mention to you that my major is Accounting & Commercial Law? Very irrelevant I know, but still within my scope of learning, so yeah.



What? You can't subscribe? Well duh the magazine is on sale, and there is no definite thing that there will be a website where you can read it.


So what if the artist won't? They need a publisher for their work to be known (and make money), and their publisher wants to make money. If they don't wanna make money, they won't need a publisher. This shitstorm won't happen.



I don't do this to defend Jacob, or Fakku. I do this because someone are complaining that they can't violate a copyright.



Sorry, I shouldn't have used sarcasm.



Robin Hood is still a thief, regardless of who he's giving the money for.
It is still a crime to kill people, even though he was corrupt (Akame Ga Kill, if you don't get my reference).
Do I still have to explain why all the things I mentioned are related to Scanlators?

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate scanlators, they used their skill to provide services for the community, often for free! It's honourable, to say the least. But, THEY ARE STILL BREAKING THE LAW, HOWEVER YOU PUT IT. You and I too, for reading/watching/listening to copyright things that we violated.



Not necessarily. You assumed the artist get shit. Do you really think people in the right mind would let themselves get shit?

If I was an artist, and I only get shit from my publisher, I just either:

1. Move to another publisher.
2. Stop drawing for a publisher and have my manga/doujin available for free.

It could be me but, I have one thing in common with all the mangakas. We are all human and we have a pride.

and shall you suffer dearly

I understand what Jacob is thinking. I understand that it's well within one's legal right to do so, but I have to admit that Jacob is doing it wrong.

Gentlemen.

[size=28]EVERYTHING IS BURNING.[/h]

You have no idea what you're talking about, so just stop posting. We work directly with both the artists and Wani, the artists get a cut of everything sold.

That face when people get mad over pornography issues.

I don't want to buy a piece of work that doesn't suit my fancy. How would I know what I like without testing it first? Granted, new works might be uploaded to different sites, but results might be limited.

So what if the artist won't? Are you fucking kidding me. Hahahahaha, that's some grade-A shit right there. Kudos.
Publishers need artists more than Artists need them. Especially the more popular ones.A lot of them are contracted, and not freelance. Also, they only make money in Japan. After site maintenance, server maintenance, employee pay, benefits (if Fakku has them), building maintenance (if they're working in an actual building), rent (if they're in an actual building), translator pay, and publishing cuts, the artists themselves won't make anything really. Especially when there's not that much of a demand for it.

No, it seems like you do it just to ride Jacob's dick a little bit more.

No, you shouldn't have used sarcasm, cause if you knew anything about sarcasm, is that it's more expressive and can't really be put into text.

"It is still a crime to kill people, even though he was corrupt", and Yes I get that reference. But no, that's not how that shit works in this day and age. I can go into it, but murder is murder, sure. Illegal or a crime? Nope. It depends on the circumstance. Bad analogy. A person who kills a serial killer in self defense or in the heat of passion can be let off scot-free. Nice try though. And granted, copyright and what scanlators do is still illegal, however no one really minds, and people actually care. I don't really have much to say about the topic of scanlators, except they don't have a safe haven to post their work on, so i'll leave it at that.

Except you aren't an artist, and none of those actions would actually work if they signed a contract or received pay (unless they freelance), and wouldn't do so well for them. Granted they can do doujinshi most of the time to get paid, but it'd be hard to live off of that.

@Jacob; Why should I believe you? That's what western companies say about anime, and you've already lied once.

You should let Wani do all that though. Now you're just public enemy no 1

We haven't sent a single DMCA to anyone, the only thing I did was request that E-Hentai not upload our books once we release them. And we haven't released them yet.

you don't get it do you when you let wani in to the usa you gave them the right to dictate everything.
4chan wants you dead
i suggest you break what ever agreement you have with wani now.

one thing though.

since Fakku books are bringing the hentai manga to the states, wouldn't they start falling under American copyright law, much like published manga here do?

because i for one don't really mind takedowns, as long as they actually release it here and don't do it just to be an asshole.

Are you guys really saying Jacob does evil?

If I were you I'd read whatever agreements they signed before accusing them of bad bad things to find out if artists do get profits or not.

Well.. dunno if we can find that out though.. cuz I don't know if contracts whatever can be viewed by anyone else.

lawl. "Hey, uh Wanimag? You know that business deal we've been talking about for the past few months? Well, the internet got mad so we want to call it off now. Hope that's cool."
