he included this ''proof''... that's not a proof for anything the talk in the discord channel was about website miners in general and why they got a bad reputation from shady websites.. we never used those and afaik we never will. He also said our biggest money maker is SMGT. That's so far off i can't even laugh anymore. We have a ton of projects SMGT is just one of them, we do not get money from doing SMGT, we get money from people who like our translation work. Also having the ok to do SMGT is better than just doing it because international copyright law isn't having as much grey areas as people think. We're (the scan and sub groups) just being tolerated. Knight the one who talked about shutting down the redistributing site or whatever the message said, is only a translator of ZeroScans he's not an admin and has no saay in this. Plus he was far from right with his interpretation of the law. As for the email or whatever that was.. We're not hiding chapters behind a paywall and we never did. Hell he could have written that himself for all we know.
Yes we have patreons, yes we get money from patreons, NO WE DO NOT LOCK CHAPTERS BEHIND A PAYWALL.
