Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! - Ch. 122 - Kouhai and Settlements

[MisterMemeDaddy]

Holy smokes, it was 800+ yesterday... this is way worse than I thought. They should've used a non-DMCA compliant host

Unfortunately by respecting this joke of a law they dug their own grave

It's maintained by a reddit user, who is also likely on mangadex since it's posted on the mangadex sub.

does not matter, MD policy is to comply with DMCA


weeeell, I have a feeling a lot of scanlator groups will choose discord as a way to host their stuff. this will be hella inconvenient (especially for me, discord is banned in the country and I would need to figure out the way to get where) aaaand discord already has various ways to flag posted content, I feel like it will stop being a good place to host really fast

Truly, I don't know why people think discord is a good place for this content. It has some great admin features, voice chat and whatnot, but honestly I think the best way to do it would be to host your own lemmy instance and configure it so only certain people can post. Not sure if that's even possible, but essentially de-centralized services are the way to go. I want to learn how to get into I2P (afaik the ultimate decentralized web) because "authorities" have no way of tracing to specific users using that protocol.

man, nearly a thousand manga down in this site alone. and now Scanlation and translators also pulling back. man....

 

[heartC0RE]

went back to find the flashback scene, it's in chapter 82 for anyone wondering.

It's not just the takedown, but specifically because MD now requires you to check a box saying that you have permission from the publisher to post a chapter, so they can theoretically use that against you if they get sued for copyright.

well it might be hardly traceable, but through social engineering and some investigation you can find people willy-nilly. also if it is not compromised today it will be in future. more capable tech like quantum chips and AIs will crack a lot of 'untraceable' 'impenetrable' stuff

and anyway, to go darknet for manga is a bit extreme anyway

Thanks for the chapter

 

[Kule]

whether this gets stop translated or not, I’m sure someone will continue to translate or upload the latest chapters to aggregator sites, translators and pirates will always find a way.

It was bad enough that we lost 1000+ series, but I thought that was the end of it and we would slowly recover.

But if even the groups that were only partially or completed unaffected are pulling out out of fear then this really is something else.

It's not just the takedown, but specifically because MD now requires you to check a box saying that you have permission from the publisher to post a chapter, so they can theoretically use that against you if they get sued for copyright.

That fucking sucks if true, specially because MangaDex has always been good to scan groups at least from my perspective. Switching to putting the blame on them if things go south again ain't it.

 

[ActuallyArma]

About 800+ series got nuked because of DMCA.

Maaan... Understandable, both for MD and for groups but, man...

 

[Graywing]

Sad to see it go but thank you for all of your hard work scan team!!!

 

[JaxunHero]

Aww sad that it’s pretty much the end but what a way to go

 

[bishbosh_91]

Thanks for your hard work 😊

 

[luigiymario2]

Man, it's such a shame but I feel ya, my group is also leaving MD at least for non-twitter mangas

 

[Ahab19]

This site is going to be a shell of itself.

 

[Ahkatsura]

I was right, she will totally dom him

 

[Mangamoz]

I get you TL, a more niche Pixiv oneshot 1 page manga could get by unnoticed, but Uzaki is one if the top big name manga that can totally fuck over fan TLs if the publishers feel like it.

It's not just the takedown, but specifically because MD now requires you to check a box saying that you have permission from the publisher to post a chapter, so they can theoretically use that against you if they get sued for copyright.

Yeah, no surprise that a bunch of groups are not responding well to MD throwing them under the bus to try and cover their own ass.
