Mangadex to purge titles for legal reasons

[sings0ngbingb0ng]

Popular mangaka are at about the level of Hollywood celebrities

Not even close

Oops sorry we don't have the same information here.

A quick example find on google:
He makes much more money filming children than older girls. The DVD of the six-year-old made him “four million (£28,500) or five million yen (£35,500),” he says. “The senior high school girls will make about one million (£7000)”.

Idc about the UK and I am not linking my argument to fictionnal characters.

But the article you linked to, did.

Didn't know a journalist working for BBC was BBC.

...w--

well, now you know.

It is totally banalized in Japan. For example this fucking author who wrote Act-age was not banned from publishing companies, so he worked on another serie after Act-age was cancelled. Also the company was actively protecting and supporting him.

They made him publish under a pseudonym, and it was a big deal to other workers in Shogakukan, and in general, when the connection was made.

MangaDex is a UGC platform and upholds applicable law, including copyright law. This has always been the case, from removals like One Piece, Demon Slayer, and My Hero Academia earlier this decade, to the large removal in May 2025 and the thousands of removals since then. The company does not have data prior to April 2025, but anything since will be added to the Transparency Report in our Copyright Centre shortly: https://mangadex.org/copyright/transparency

This still has not happened

Yeah, several Manga are on Hiatus because of it due to the mangaka leaving that publisher

I did a look up: it was the western side. Either Europe or America and their silly laws on something that aren't likely originally from their land.

What a year.

It is so funny how people jump in on the ideas of "Mangadex turn corpo" because of this incident AND the Twitter article (their first one article mind you) that isn't officially from Mangadex.

Sorry but are you trolling?
The reason why people are saying MD is going corpo is not because of some shitty twitter post, it's because they are doing the same thing Crunchyroll did lmao

1. make a pirate site
2. make company for it or sell it to one
3. try to make money legally with the piracy site (flawless idea)
4. get fucking hammered with DMCAs until you are forced to remove all pirate content

Now to be fair, MD is a bit smarter here because they aren't actually trying to get licenses from companies while pirating their shit, they instead made an independent publishing company that they increasingly push into people's faces, basically they are sacrificing MD to get an exposure boost to their new venture.

The internet are becoming more strict day by day with the data collecting, glorified as "age verification" so things like this might happened more frequent than you might think

Nah you must be trolling...
PIRACY IS ILLEGAL
They don't need to pass a law for that bro, it already exists

The moment this site tied itself to a real, legal company, IT WAS ALREADY OVER, and effectively THIS SITE IS ALREADY CORPORATE for all intents and purposes.
It's not a conspiracy theory if it already happened.
