Webtoon Publisher Kakao revealed that they are currently preparing legal action against three only partially named big piracy sites/groups:
Website "M": Largest comic piracy website in the world. They identified operators and plan to sue via a local law firm. However last year they decided it would be more effective to collaborate with japanese publishers in this case. This is the first time for such a joint action between companies from these two countries.
Scanlation Group ***Scans: One of the 5 biggest english piracy scanlation groups in the world. The group has been bought by a overseas comic company according to Kakao investigations and they are planning legal actions against the company owning the group and the group itself.
Webtoon Piracy Site: ***manhua: Big chinese webtoon piracy site focused on chinese readers. Kakao will work together with local chinese platforms to take legal actions with chinese courts against the operators.
Ridiculous.
1. Piracy is a service problem
2. People who pirate won't buy your stuff anyway. If ALL piracy sites were to shut down I'd just read way less webcomics. I buy a ton anyway but not all. There's nothing more to be spent so yeah
3. It won't work. Piracy is a hydra
4. Things like anime and manhwa got so popular *through* piracy. Then there'...... reply
