I thought it was only illegal for the uploader? Dam have I got this wrong the whole time?
Oh yeah, they were managing the sit and uploading. As I thought. Phew (〜￣△￣)〜
Boii sure made a lot of $$
is it illegal to read manga online? Even if you buy?
It's illegal to upload not to read as far as I know
But yeah buying is the most respectful thing to do as the author spent so much time working on it and is most likely what they are doing for a living yet people are reading their work without paying for it. Imagine working and getting underpaid. Feels bad right?
