@lumpur I did not want to hate^^ sorry if it came over as such. But I completely agree, a simple google search gets the results you want quite fast. BUT I am talking about the normal user. And the normal user is generally not "schooled" to do so. They act as I described above. Or they do search and find the bad stealing sites and the like(well, simply putting "fallen angels aharen san" into google shows only their page. But "aharen san english" only leads to the big baddies. Without the people mentioning the group's name here I would have no knowledge who the translators were. I would have to go out of my way again and search for one of their chapters (probably) on a bad site to get the end card and get to their page(again think what a normal user would do)). That's why this site is Important and that people release here so that we will not fall back into the dark ages. It is a good trade-off, lose a little traffic here but gain a bigger following, than no one coming at all and your stuff just gets stolen. (Basically a win/win). You say it is on the readers if they don't go out of their way to search for it. But who loses more? the not-reader who just goes on with his day? Or the group who has spent days and days working hard just to get their stuff stolen?
It is the same conundrum manga/web/lightnovel- authors face. They work hard to create something from which they live of, just to get their work stolen from those very translators. People read those and the authors lose money. But at the same time, it generates a following outside of their targeted marked(japan). From this following a small amount goes out of their way and buy the stuff even tho they can't read Japanese. And when the work gets released, there will be more people who buy it. They make a loss because people just read it from the translators. But at the end of the day, they make more money since without the translators nobody(or way, way less) would buy something they can not read.
Is this the right way? No, of course not. But that is how the manga/anime culture developed here so fast. And made them more money than otherwise.(Still not the right way)
And for the hate on the other group: wait what?! why? (No I get it. people are entitled and lazy). That is sad. because that is generally just three clicks away(group name-> sitesymbol->chapter)
