@Ethan Elliot yeah so fan translations are stealing from the author, publishers and licensed translation companies..... nice try. the people doing these unlicensed translations have no ownership nor to they legal right to be paid for their work, its purely donations and they can be dmca'd for doing it. which is a reason that manga fan translations have slowed down. most sites/scanlation groups get dmca'd and in some cases sued over their work. its not "stealing" if they had no ownership of it in the first place. I like fan translations. I cant read Japanese but in a legal sense its wrong. not to mention most of these groups or individuals that translate get bored or move on. Relying on donations to make ends meet is dumb, most dont. Its a hobby. Crazy take bro
