Good luck. They never did manage to block the Pirate Bay correctly over here in the UK.

Ah, they never learn. If they really wanted to go versus piracy, they need to do one simple thing - make the manga digital releases more accessible to the people, including the releases for foreign countries. Seriously, if Steam can do this for the games, including the boom on indie game titles (that go for the Japanese also) - why you can't do the same thing for manga? The services that exist now hardly cover 1% of the existing market, the other is purely related to fan translations.
What's the problem, for real? Last edited by WANNFH on Fri Apr 13, 2018 6:37 am; edited 2 times in total |

You cut off one head two more take it's place.
That's basically how this will turn out. |

Blocking all of them would be impossible, they aren't wrong at all trying to do it but every years while trying to block them they end up wasting money, close 1 site, 3 new are coming, they end up with even more problem. They should change their way of doing first at all creating suscription site which allow to read as much as possible serie on their site during the subscription period, also their lost due to piracy is far from being that high, because these site are free advertising, i know plenty of people who still buy the serie they love after reading illegaly because it was released sooner and they assume that every pirated manga would have been bought but peoples that read thousand of them every year wouldn't be able to afford that much. They should consider using these sites in a useful way rather than wasting time and money trying to shut them down, but it seem rather late for me they should have start long ago.

Something something UN study on piracy finding that it doesn't actually hurt sales.

Curiously, both Mangamura and AniTube! currently suffer from "502 Bad Gateway". How about that?

Betcha an (ineffectual) crackdown on illegal streaming sites and video downloading is next. The FTC is already grumbling about it.

I don't exactly blame them, but any attempt to do so will be largely ineffective. There are relatively easy ways to bypass such blocks.

Hey, if it's cheaper to lobby the government rather than sell a product I guess that's where the money's going to go.

I reiterate what I said in the other thread earlier; In 2016 the combined physical and digital sales of the manga industry in Japan amounted to 445.4 billion yen. link And they insist they lost almost as much in six months due to piracy? Yeah, I got this bridge I want to sell, perhaps they might be interested... |

I can understand that, but until we get something that works like we do for anime the piracy of manga will still remain a huge problem.
Crunchyroll is taking steps in the right direction and so is MAL when it comes to its manga library you can buy and read, but the pool of titles is so small and there really is nothing interesting. |

I don't know how you can justify pirating manga if you live in Japan. Manga is like $4-5 equivalent a volume, and magazines for $2-3 equivalent.
