Asura literally just released "translations" for a new Kakao manhwa. Suspicious as fuck that Asura and the other shady manhwa "scanlators" are not targeted aggressively by Kakao and pals' DMCAs. Even if they keep making new website and discord, constant takedows will leave them with less and less readers. And more importanly, less money. Super suspicious.
Honestly? I say it's the opposite, not suspicious at all.
Chances are Asura and similar were smart enough to probably not directly pay for sites and such
So maybe Kakao doesn't
really know identity of anyone involved
So they get hit by dmca? Just close the site to appease the publishers or it gets closed bu server or whatever
Then continue business as usual somewhere else
Sure Asura and such won't make as much money for a while
But they're still gonna make some money anyway
There will always be some people to pay for their translation
And then in time they make new site, paypal, patreon or whatever
Reason Mangadex is hit more aggressively is because they became too big and popular
Fact that owners tried to make money legitimally just makes laughably easy to attack them
After all that means
someone name is attached to the site and so on
So they can't just change servers or whatever I guess
Either way I just hope Mangadex successor put the site in a country where they can ignore dmca
