How to find which series I follow had their chapters purged?

[AbuHajaar]

I follow a ton of series and with this recent incident a ton of chapters were removed for those series.

How do I get a list of all series that I follow which had their latest (english) chapter removed?

Here's a spreadsheet from a reddit post

id personally just like a tag similar to completed that i could click on and have my list sorted to only show DMCA content failing the a scrapper or something that could do the same job.

yeah, I have ~800 follows and the spreadsheet has 1600 entries, no way I'll be able to check them. Especially when library does NOT have alphabetical sorting

I appreciate MD devs for all that they did, but not having alphabetical sorting after all this time is incomprehensible.

Or, any sorting at all apart from whatever random criteria is going on right now

By default, manga are returned in order of latest chapter uploaded in descending order (meaning titles that recently had chapter(s) added show up first).
Alphabetical sorting is supported by the backend already, but the frontend doesn't make use of it...

7k titles. Yikes. Big-ol'-Yikes. That's pretty much it for Mangadex, isn't it?

DMCA claim ≠ copyright infringement.

The latter can only be declared by a judge. And I don't see pending court cases. So as long as MD removes the DMCA-ed content they could realistically argue to be a safe harbour protected content provider.

Disclaimer; not a lawyer, not legal advice. Just a nerd with an internet connection.

Think it might be the fasted to individually go through your list and check if there is a ”show removed chapters” or something with a similiar name button. If the buttons there That’s a good indicater the whole series has been removed.

Not entirely, manga are returned in order of latest edit, so chapter uploaded in any language is included, but they are not the only factor.

My only question is how to get those chapters back.

My only question is how to get those chapters back.

unless the group that translated and uploaded the DMCA-d chapters of a manga re-uploaded them, or another group decided to re-translate and re-upload the chapters of that manga again, those chapters ain't coming back

at least, I think so

This is one of the side effects of the US DMCA, which goes back something like 30 years at this point. If you want to get into the details you can do your own research on this, but the short version is that MD - being a host for content rather than the party responsible for creating that content - can avoid legal responsibility for copyright violations by complying with the takedown requests. There is a means of appealing those requests, if the creative parties (in this case, the scanlation teams) believe those requests were made in error or in bad faith and they had permission to distribute those works, but it's telling that to this point no one appears to have done so. In the meantime, MD continues to operate.

Practically, a number of publishers (particularly the South Koreans, but some of the Japanese as well) seem to be willing to issue the takedowns regardless of the lack of any official translations, meaning they'd rather have audiences in the West not read their works at all than allow them to be given away at no immediate profit (but with an eye toward a potential future audience for sales). The approach of some of these companies makes the MPAA and RIAA look positively generous by comparison.
