@gonn92 Can you even read? It is about MD being ideologically inconsistent and extending unearned entitlements to scanlators. Either everyone's "rights" are respected (in which case no copyrighted material should be allowed on the site at all) or you don't respect anyone's "rights" and just...

@ItsQuote I never said all of it. You are right. Some of it does occur with the original author's consent. I don't know which ones exactly. I know that TheElusiveTaco for instance is the provider of official translations. I mentioned TheElusiveTaco specifically in my earlier posts. Fine. I...

@Teasday Well I am the audience and I am pissed off. I think it is nonsense that MD is going out its way to protect the feelings of scanlators. Please explain to me what part of removing scans that Mangastream has already done falls under the description of providing "the audience scanlations"?

@Pika Well you opinion is wrong. Now you are just being facile. You know that isn't how intellectual property works. Inanimate object can't hold the rights to something. Besides the pens don't do anything unless the author uses them to make something. You actually have nothing useful to say...

@ItsQuote You're actually totally wrong. The original author has the rights to all translations. Read about it here: https://copyright.uslegal.com/enumerated-categories-of-copyrightable-works/translation/ I'll highlight important bits for you. Scanlations are not done with the consent of the...

@Irian Alright. Go create a ROM hack of Super Mario Bros. Translate all the menus from Japanese to fucking Esperanto or Latin or something. Then proceed to sue everyone who uses against you wishes "translation". See how far you get in court of law. Also, good luck dealing with Nintendo. You...

@Irian No, it isn't. It is actually 100% illegal. It isn't a grey area at all. No, that isn't how things work. If they publish it they have no business dictating how people use it. Why should they get special protections? They aren't entitled to anything at all. It is 100% voluntary. They...

@Plykiya Well screw them. You don't need their permission in the first place. If they don't want other people to use their scanlations, then just don't do them. No one is forcing them be scanlators. It is pretty shitty to volunteer to do something and then start imposing all kinds of...

@DANDAN_THE_DANDAN No, I do. Maybe I used too many big words. I'll simplify it. Going out of your way to protect special snowflake scanlators is fucking stupid. I tried to approach this rationally by claiming it was ideologically inconsistent, but apparently you all misunderstood my point.

@shouldsleep Then don't scanlate it. Yeah, it isn't their work. It is copyright infringement. They don't have any rights. Why are you invested in licking the boots of the scanlators? How can you claim that I don't know anything, when you couldn't even understand the basics of my argument...

@firefish5000 I actually don't care what the scanlator thinks. I come here because I like the layout and there aren't any ads. Well if this is so important, why are we leaving it up to the individual scanlation groups. If MD wants to protect the authors, then they should remove licensed...

Yes that is bad. Why are we protecting their precious feel-feels? MD doesn't need to do such a thing. So what you're saying is that the rules are total bullshit, right? Why even have the rules in the first place? Why not just allow blatantly pirated material that is already available in...

To further expound upon my point: things are subject to licenses. Even doujin goods in Japan are granted a special 1-day license to be sold at cons. If something as derivative as doujin good is subject to IP rights, why would a translation not be? Also even if scanlations were somehow...

So MangaDex is big on respecting scanlator's "rights" and acquiescing to their every request and doing things like implementing "delays". MangaDex also won't rehost stuff that is done by Mangasteam and whatnot. However, MangaDex has no problem allowing actual licensed works on the site provided...

This is pretty lulzy. The humour is fairly dark and very "cringey". I enjoy how Oji-san is a Sega fanboy. My first console was a Sega Dreamcast so I can relate to his sadness.

Honestly the liberal "translation" of this is the only thing that actually makes this manga readable. It is neither particularly erotic or interesting. It pretty much fails all around.

@Atsuro It should be a "free market". If you're not going to respect intellectual property rights you have no claim to exclusive rights to the scanlation process. I don't understand why'd they'd bitch and drop the series. I feel like the idea of dedicated "scanlation" groups is kind of...

@Xxx_OniiChanDAISUKI_xxX Yeah it would suck to have your hardwork invalidated. Ideally the best scanlations would somehow be curated and if someone did a shit job no one would read it, or it would be replaced by a superior version. Some group do a legitimately bad job or do not release very...

@Xxx_OniiChanDAISUKI_xxX I'm glad to hear some actual numbers. For some reason readers feel like scanlators are entitled to make money of off what is basically intellectual property theft. MangaDex supports by allowing both group delays and also removing stuff from other sites that don't allow...

I am just going to say that her ability increases all her physical abilities by 5x. Otherwise she would have broken her hand when she tested it. Hell, an untrained person can easily break their hand punching a person with their normal strength.
