So for those thanking the uploader on here, don’t. Go to the scan groups website, read it there and thank the staff there. The group is Hikari scans, google their website because I’m not sure if they want the link spread now that there’s been this violation.
Also just to add, uploaders who take a group’s work without permission and upload it here make the members mad and often dissuade the group from either continuing a series or disbandment all together. It puts a downer on the morale and the members no longer have the positive attitude to continue. So doing this just causes you to possibly lose out on a group from scanlating the series or more series you might read in the future.
that's terrible (╬￣皿￣)凸
I meant to upvoteeee Σ( ￣□￣||)
These scans were uploaded without the permission of the scanlation group. They explicitly asked for people to not reupload their releases to sites aggregator sites like here on mangago.
The fact the uploader outright ignored their one request just for the glory of being “the uploader” on here is terrible. I saw in earlier comments the uploader is accepting thanks and acting like they were the ones who did the work. Also this uploader did not include the credit page, which just adds to the offensiveness.
Yes scanlation is illegal, but people do this because they want to put in their own time and money to share this with others. Some say what’s the point then, why bother fussing over where it’s posted? Sites like mangago earn money via ads while none of the content on the site is theirs or worked on by them. It also makes it harder for the scan group to manage their uploads so if they decide to edit or delete a chapter or series they have to go through a more complicated process with mangago rather than if they simply hosted it on their own site. Having uploads on here also makes it easier for legal authorities to find these scan groups and take action against them. Scanlation is illegal we all know this, it’s morally grey but it’s the only way to consume the mass amount of releases not officially translated to your language. With that being said because it’s illegal there are groups who want to be more anonymous, have less connections that’ll lead authorities to the real people scanlating so hosting on their own site helps minimize footprints you could say. There’s an assortment of other reasons.
But the fact right now is that someone unfairly uploaded the scanlated chapters from a group that wished not to and is taking credit for the work they never did.
