The Lusty Lady Project is officially dead

But yeah, since I'm sure now it's Wani, it all means they could have just took down the stuff from the following magazines: X-Eros, Kairakuten, Kairakuten Beast, Shitsurakuten. The rest had nothing to do with Wani.

The blind girl with pissing was safe, the Chiba Toushirou story was safe, the Movie Story Club work too. All they needed to do was take down stuff like Distance's harem, or works like this

They jumped the fence too soon, sounds to me like.

It wasnt just wani, your assuming only wani,but on a side its not like our site is the only site hosting our releases, we may be dead but our releases will live on until we are forgotten hopefully. And with the site shutting down we didnt have a choice it was beyond our control. trust me we had no choice

All good things come to an end. Genuinely sorry to see the Project go. Hope everyone lands on their feet.

I have faith in the hentai community another group will fill the void we left behind, hentai existed before us it will exist after us

We'll understand very soon who else it was one way or the other, because your exact same notice was sent to other teams in this same day. Not just the one whose picture I linked, but other ones as well.

This is awful news. I'm sad to see you go. Thank you for your tireless work and for the fond memories.

Today is a sad day
Thanks lusty for everything you done and goodbye

I am just curious to where you guys are going to go now that the project is over. Will you guys be translating still and would it be under a different name? I just want to know what you guys will do now that you have been flagged by legal issues. Maybe you can just do what Sindalf said and just yolo it.

you will be missed

This has to be the saddest moment of my stay here at Fakku (╯︵╰,)

Just my take: I'm guessing that the guys at LLP were afraid that they, as a physical person, would be sued(?) for translating hentai, which they just couldn't risk (imagine the trial, lol). But to be honest, cease and desists and the like are common, other groups surely have gotten them before.

These complaints are purposely written to frighten you, except that the complaint issuer is mostly powerless (pursuing the issue would be very costly) and can only hope that the fansubber/scanlator stops what he's doing. LLP's reaction seems kind of excessive, in the end I'm sure they could have just stopped scanlating the works of whichever company that contacted them. Surely they weren't just vaguely ordered to cease all operations?

After all, sites like e-hentai and fakku get on just fine, they take down whatever they get DMCA requests for and that's it.

First the censorship laws resulted in increased censorship in new works (if I am not mistaken around late 2013/early 2014), and now one of the great translation groups is now out of the game. 2014 is not looking that good for the doujin community it seems.

I will miss the Lusty Lady Project greatly. I hope the members will still interact with the community and will perhaps either produced translated doujins on their own, or join other groups, or maybe make their own new group (Become the Trigger (as opposed to Gainex) of doujins or something). This is truly a sad time.

I'm so deeply saddened by this!! You guys were my favorite group and I don't know what to do with myself anymore :(

I actually feel like someone awesome died. I wanna say thanks for all the faps. I know you guys worked incredibly hard. I hope future endeavors work out better for you and we'll definitely miss you lots. It's so sad to say goodbye it really is :(

you meqn doujinshi, we're one step closer to rewrite by oledawg!! Shivers!

Thank you very much.

This post reeks of foul play over and under the counter. I will miss the Lust Lady Project banner.
