#1755867 On scanlating = piracy

Posted by Yan Q on 29 June 2016 - 09:53 PM

Also the reach is much wider over the internet. 

 

I don't really understand why there needs to be so much discussion over whether or not scanlating is piracy. It is, period. 

Buying a CD and then lending it to a friend? Illegal.

Making fanart and never showing anyone? Still can be illegal.

Posting a cover of your favourite song on the net? Illegal.

 

What makes you (in general) think that scanning a book and then distributing it online isn't? Doesn't matter if it's being translated or not.

 

If there's ever going to be a discussion it should be over whether or not the creators actually care.

Most likely they don't because it's not worth the time and effort to do so. Or simply because going to war with your fans is never a good idea, but at the end of the day scanlation is piracy no ifs or buts. 

 

Not trying to be 'holier than thou' or anything. Black on white's pretty clear. We're all in the wrong, I own up to that, but reading scanlations here also isn't the only illegal thing I've done in my life, so.... obviously I don't feel guilty enough to stop.

If you believe in predestination, and that what happens is meant to happen, then you preventing it (or trying to prevent it) was also supposed to happen. 

 

Honestly, I don't worry too much about that sort of stuff. I just do what I do and if it's meant to happen, cool, if fate doesn't exist, also cool. 

Simple, right?

i feel like the foreground of the first 2 pictures could be a bit sharper? or is that just my eyes failing? xD

I hope it's your eyes because they look pretty fucking sharp to me

otherwise, I'll have to adjust my settings ;-;
