Updated news about possible status of mgg! Important!
As many know or don't know yet, the operator for Bto has been arrested. Don't fear, mgg isn't their next target. It's mgdex. Anyways this further confirms that there aren't going to be bto anymore. It's officially shut down.
Japanese government is investing a lot of money in developing an Ai that will be targeting piracy sites. It might also let them know where the stolen works are being distributed. It's still in development but give it 1-2 years .
Don't they have other things to worry about serioulsy????? And don't they know that more than half of their works would have remained unknown if not for illegal sites. Like yeah I get it it's money but chill bro 1 reply
Didn't they get rid of mdex before what's the point of trying to do it again if it's gonna come back up and if it's no official news or anything about this site or others idk why everyone is trippin, piracy has been around forever in the manga community so idk why Japan is trying to take action know when they could've back in the 90s 1 reply
Read somewwhere of a translator that got the author feeling gratitude for having their manga translated. When asked about the possibility that their manga can get official publishing in English, they answer that the distribution is impossible because the higher ups think that the cost cannot offset the profit, so they're content with Japan only pub...... reply
K@kao isn't also mainly responsible for the takedown of these sites, but they're still investing money. Though almost all the actual credits goes to the Japanese government and journalists. Gatekeeping is useless with the Ai Japan is investing their money on. If it continues to develop that is.
Bto had profitted of 8 million yen approximately 51k...... reply
On the bright side, there are countries in Asia that don't care 2 flying f***s about copyright claims in Japan. Hopefully operators of sites like Bto have begun storing crucial files there. How does the old line go? What goes on the internet, stays on the internet (somewhere). reply
