The big difference is now mangadex said they will not defend any scanlation group that uploads to the site. So if any litigation is filed against them, they can be down several hundred thousand dollars in court fees alone for a case they'll likely lose.Is mangadex dying? It's not like this is the first time they've removed series due to dmca, sure it was a lot this time but there are also a lot that weren't affected and the site is still up, so why not keep putting them here.
