MangaDex, the popular online repository for fan-translated manga, has been subjected to a sweeping wave of DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown
Japan loves doing shit like this. I watch sumo and the sumo association has gotten so many youtube streams shut down, even when there was no official way to watch outside the country
Oh, great. The best part is that for some of these publishers there’s literally no legal way to read their manga online.
Unless you think Japan and USA are the only 2 countries in the world, I guess…
For many mangas it also means that there exist no way to read them at all, for some are just not printed anymore
And some were not even translated at all.
Really smart move from the manga industry.
What are they even trying to achieve here?
It’s not like there isn’t a bunch of other websites hosting the same stuff…
