Just another scare tactic. Honestly, I hope you change your mind, good translators are becoming scarce in general, and I really enjoy your scanlation here.... Either way enjoy the first day of the rest of your life lol
Maybe if MD can protect the scanlator i'll continue.

You're stopping all of your TL work? That's such a shame, your scanlations has been awesome to read. This might not really change your mind, but there's other places that are willing to accept scanlators and host their work. The most popular ones are Comick which already scrapes most of your TLs. They're based on SEA iirc and can probably avoid most publisher's threats.

If nothing else, thank you so much for your work. Godspeed to whatever endeavor you take next.

I mean if there's any other place that officially give a place to the scanlation I'll still doing TLing.

Another scanlation is down. Thank you for all of your hard work for us up until now. May you take a break and read the manga as a reader now. Great job.

MD wont/cant protect scanlators unfortunately, but also the amount of trouble you can get in is dependent on the laws in your country of residence, unless you plan on going to Japan at some point.

Totally understand if you do decide to stop scanlating all together, thank you for what you've done so far!

My personal opinion is that they probably aren't going to go after small operations where its just one or two works being scanlated, and it depends on who the publisher is for that work. If you do continue, think about using anonymization tools like tor and such to protect yourself from being tracked if they do come for you. There's a lot more you can do as well but for a free project it maybe too much work 😅

Long live scanlators.

Well,
https://forums.mangadex.org/threads...25-of-chapters-gone-staff-faq-update.2276028/
and
https://mangadex.org/compliance/copyright-faq

So, no, they can't protect the information they have on you from a subpoena nor the chapters you upload from a DMCA. (Though I'm not sure what you mean by protect, I mean, you're advertising your ko-fi and saweria directly.)

I don't think publishers will actually go after every individual scanslator that pops up though, because there is a cost to these legal procedures and suing people all over the world is just not realistic. They're going after aggregators with lots of traffic because without aggregators you have to follow many websites and discord servers and that's a pain factor that would greatly hinder reading these chapters for free.

Anyways, it's best to stay safe, so thanks for the chapters! It's too bad we probably won't see more of this for a while.

Appreciate the translation! Looked great

Now, as for the issue at the end...

Again with the TOS, these have been part of Mangadex since day 1, just because they now have more visibility doesn't mean they didn't exist before, that's why everyone should read the TOS if they care that much.
When using one such place, you should also use throw-away accounts, you don't want anything to trace back to you. If anything happens, not just you, but also dex will be fine.

there are other places to upload your translations if you want to continue, but with recent events its wholly understandable if you chose not to. either way, thank you for your work thus far.

You could try uploading to comick.io like the others. If you don't know how to upload there, go to their discord server to ask perms to upload.
