Japanese govt crackdown on piracy

Not sure if it would work on non clear web sites.

Thanks for the info but I assume you have to give some more context, since most people won't be able to read that.

Yes but if you press the tweet you go to it and there's a translation tab.

interesting.

so does this mean websites like kissmanga will go down?

Ah thanks, I did not know that, I never use Twitter.



I'd sure hope so but in the end, fighting piracy has always been a bit of a red queen's race in the internet age.

but if you want to beat pirates make that shit available to me to get. Beastars is so fucking hot right now with its popularity, but i cant read the manga of it. instead if i wanted to read it i have to go to a shady website that had that shit translated within days of those mangas getting released.

then i have to wait months for VIZ to take thier sweet ass time translating it when pirates beat them too it by a considerable margin


now me as the simple consumer and knowing fuck all about the mango industry other than me reading them. im pretty danm sure there is more too it than i realize.

Indeed, pirates can get to work right away, while legal releases have to go through quite a bit. First a publisher must have interest, then buy the rights which may take a few rounds of negotiations, then translated, then proofread, then edited, then printed.

I have no trouble waiting if I know I get it eventually, and whith a hot item like Beastars, I know it will get over here.
