Piracy is a service problem
Japan clearly doesn't understand they need to make a Steam for manga.
Easy billions
Give me something that's not worse than pirate sites and I'll throw money at you. Crunchyroll was great for that few months when it went legit before it enshat.
I should never be in awe at the quality of the pirate sites over the liegit services.
speak for yourself, I'll go for the free option
Let's fight piracy!!!
People outside japan can buy the 1000000 mangas available? We have a way to translate this many mangas? Do we have a fucking online service that doesn't suck a lot? People have any hope to read legally that one random obscure manga that doesn't even exist anymore beside some random piracy site? But we gonna fight piracy anyway!!!
This kinda o shit + nintendo + sony fills my hatred for Japanese companies, more bullshit and I'll become more powerful in the dark side than Palpatine.
That's what happens when you let Crunchyroll and Funimation merge. Im going to be the pirate king!
mfers raised the yearly price from 80 USD to 100 this year, and then they sent me an email that next year it'll be 120! a 50% increase in two years, insane.
Speaking of thwarting piracy, how about Japan stops slaughtering whales and respecting the treaties they have signed first?
Protecting corporate interests is so hot right now though.
Always has been.
I never thought I'd call out a whataboutism over whatever the hell this is.
It's a half-pun about actual piracy. Not sure if illegal fishing is actually considered piracy, but that's the idea.
Pirates do what Nintendon't
The answer has always been I2P! they can nothing against what is shared on it!
Second that, I wish i2p was more popular.
They accomplish that and the already diminutive presence they have in the world will shrink even more.
I won't be pirating manga if I can actually pay for them. Some apps exist, like mangaplus, but they pale in comparison to something like tachiyomi. And then there is webtoon which shoves an ad in my face even though I purchase content weekly to read. And webnovel is atrocious with how I have to wait 5 seconds for an ad before they show me yet another ad every time I open the app. I just use koreader now for novels. I do buy physical volumes to show some support back. But a Korean series that I am reading does not have a novel published overseas, kind of a bummer.
