@Lynkaster: ok you are funny one here, you know. Most readers in mangadex already knew that all of us are translating in illegal way so mentioning about author here makes your saying is not fair. How could you put two opposite issues (legal and illegal) on the same line like that? In illegal trans world, we have our own rule.
Let me tell you something, they are on internet does not mean they belongs to everyone. If we are in good mood or we know nothing about that so fine but not, we will say it, ok?
We do not own the author’s work but we own the raw we bought, the translation and edition of the manga we did.
They can translate anything they want but before use our manga and manhwa editions to re-trans, re-edit even using our sfx, erasing our logo and not mentioning us in credit, ask us then we gladly provide raw for them.
We put many logos due to this reason. You know how hard to buy those manga and manhwa raws?
So why do we not allow to talk about “shame” here when they freely used our trans and edition then happily announce here that they were ready to translate it in English? Now talk about your mentioned author prob, so are you used to go to in front of the authors to announce that you were ready to illegally translate their manga/ manhwa? That is the reason why that comment appeared here.
We do not prohibit anyone to translate but buy raw themselves then do whatever they want. Or at least cleaning and re-editing our edition carefully, do not let us find out. While editing manga, are you used to erased all names of author and artist? If you do not know anything about these things so stop it and go reading some mangas.
Updating news for you that the other group sent us an apology and asked for permission to use our raw. We allowed them to use but credit us. They took down their old chapters to fix them.
Sending private mess is certain but posting comment is faster. May be you do not know either, some group is hard to contact 🌚
