J's Chimes: Scanlation War Is Now...


With copyrighted laws set into full motion, manga publishing companies have finally made their move in stopping the release of Scanlations on websites. After much debates, it seems like scanlation websites are now slowly removing manga contents due to the fact that they are issued warnings of illegal publishing of licensed mangas. So it also means that in months to come ahead, popular mangas like Bleach to Claymore will soon be gone... Have been reading mangas through scanlations ever since high school because it does not 'Costs' any money except the Internet and Electricity charges. Mangas cost a lot more nowadays and occupies lots of space in the house so it is not feasible for me to be buying and storing them after reading. The fact that scanlations will be gone truly saddens me, however such is the law and there's nothing that we as readers can do anything about it. Let's just wait and see what happens next...

Contents will be removed slowly, not immediately. Such an example would be www.onemanga.com. I think other sites will follow too...
