So, a couple things...
340 million won currently would be worth about US$260,000 (and about 4.4 million Mexican Pesos), which is not anywhere close to $35 million.
There is no 'Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)' within the Department of Homeland Security. There is the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, but this doesn't really seem like it would fall under their general scope of interest - I would guess the more likely investigatory agency would be the FBI, specifically the Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch.

Maybe they wanted to say 34 billion...
Also, I can't find the korean source of the number they wrote...

CBR's article from the 21st seems to be a bit closer to the source: https://www.cbr.com/web-novel-piracy-site-us-dhs-korea-shut-down-arrest/
That uses the $260K figure.
English (Google) translation of what appears to be that article's primary source here: https://www-hankyung-com.translate....l=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp

Those are all websites that post either early translations or official ones for webtoons

Such a shame that github doesn't have commit history so there is no way to go back before it was removed. Also there is no way that someone would do something horrendous like upload the removed extensions and source somewhere else. Won't someone think of the large corporations... /s

What's fun imo is that they find that agregators makes a lot of money from ads only with free readings of their content...and don't even think of doing the same... 🤦♂️

Some reasonable companies DO understand how it works. Like Shueisha with their Manga+. They started back in 2019 with mere ~30 titles. Now their catalog contains 230+ titles.
Or (partially) Manga UP. Not so long ago their app was barely usable with countless limitations. But in last(?) major update they removed many limitations and it's much more tolerable now.

Out of curiosity, can someone tell me approximately how many man-hours it takes to make a mid-tier translation for an experienced group? Assume some trash-tier shounen so there's not tons of hours spent debating the merits of one interpretation over another.
Just want to crunch some numbers against the monetary damages claims above.

This is what I found so strange about their behavior, like bruh the DMCA request link is right there. It lets you remove actual content, not some links to an API in a github repo. But picking on the open source fan project probably makes them feel real big and strong, so

RP: few seconds
TL: 1h to 1h30 for a ~30pages chapter
PR: 30min to 1h for a ~30pages chapter
RD: Takes the most time ~4h
TS: ~1h30min (edited)
QC: the time you make to read a ~30pages chapter + ~5min

What are other groups doing that redraws without the sfx take 4 entire hours and typesetting takes a mere 30 minutes, less time than translation wtf
At this rate I could be pumping out chapters daily

I wish solo yolo can be like this. It takes years to have a mood to RD.

I hope this question is ok here (if not mods feel free to delete): are there any other reading apps like Tachiyomi on Android that support Bato and Mangadex? 2 most used extensions in my library and they got removed. It's not the end of the world and MD is very accessible on mobile as well, it's just reading app like Tachiyomi is super convenient in keeping all my reading in one place. Or should I just stick with Firefox mobile + uBlock origin for my illegal readings again?
Thank you.
Thank you.
