Webtoon Publisher "Kakao" preparing legal action against three only partially named big piracy sites/groups

[DavidianMillerian]

hey wait a minute, the two threads got joined together

neat

 

[Morose]

Some subdomains of Mgk have been hit already but considering the plethora of Manhwa being hosted here its rather safe to say mangadex is definitely on the list.....

Well, as per the report, Kakao is try to get collaboration of Japanese Publishers to target sites.
So just not Manhwa's, but even Manga's are possibly on target.

If thats the case then we can hold on to a little hope.. Mangadex openly works with JP publishers by posting their official site links and what not, even with reapers like VIZ and SJ they seem to have some type of agreement to post official links to the chapters to avoid any type of legal trouble

 

[Justice88]

Well, any news regarding legal action is unfortunate, but thankfully they can never touch torrents.

Lol, posting a link to another website is not working together. And you dont need any agreement to that either. You're delusional if you think mangadex "openly works" with jp publishers.
Some en publishers might be tolerant toward mangadex but thinking that they work together is a cope.

As the title suggest, things are going like that.
The one to take note on is apparently the "Largest comic piracy website" which is partially named as Website "M".
Now i wonder which one is this?

It can't be Mangadex, right? I mean...doesn't Mangadex comply with licensing and takedowns?

it shouldn't be

 

[IlaiaCorde]

Some people speculated that it's Mangakakalot being on the hit list, but they're aware of Mangadex as well.

Mangadex doesn't do piracy tho. It only hosts unlicensed titles with no official English translations.

 

[KappaDvorak]

No big deal. The manga scanlation scene will be over in a few years anyway, with the current AI hostile takeover.

That's the sad thing. AI translation isn't good especially without proper editing.
For now I expect another migration, such a shame that collection of many manga some out of circulation will be gone because of greedy company

Don't underestimate South Korean greed, their capitalism is out of control

exactly, that didn't stop them from shutting down tachiyomi

korean corpo cunts will do corpo cunt things if md is targeted regardless of whether or not it's actually "piracy"

No I dont think so at all, look at Crunchyroll they originally started off as a piracy site and now they dissolved the entirety of Funimation.

 

[Jergens]

Lotta anime streaming sites got killed today. RIP Aniwave (9anime) it had a really nice UI and search function. Me thinks they're getting real aggressive now.

ON BOARD

Wont be missed either way. Also seems like everyone agree so far

Great mind think alike

I'd miss manhwa (I read quite a bit of it, though I read more before-- RIP Tachiyomi) but I'd rather lose it here than have the whole site go down.
