>>287888775It didn't go crunchyroll's way yet, it is still flirting with the idea by balancing between official partnerships and fan scans, crunchyroll completely nuked all of the pirated content before becoming an official licensor.

>>287889497You don't even need the pirate if you can read all the latest chapters for free
>>287888725you can thank all the scrappers for that
manga piracy is like a hydra, mangadex is just one of many sites in so many years and there are many other sitesI have long since kept a personal record of my read historyThat one site with the user annotations was the best. Mangakakalot or onemanga or something? I miss that one, shit was funny sometimes
>>287888725Yes. Buy the books you thirdworlder leeches.
>>287889411Do I need to make an account to trick them into going full corpo?
>>287889597>mangadex is just one of many sitesNot when it comes to hubs.
You can block it with ublock. Took me 10 seconds
>>287889600why buy something if i don't know if it's good?
>>287889597except most manga sites are just scrappers ripping off dex, so it's a major hit
>>287889417As someone who reads all day 10 chapters is nothing!
>>287889597>there are many other sitesOnline readers with decent image quality scans are dying one by one actually, the ones that remain host compressed scavenged stuff from already compressed images, creating this network of everyone just taking from each other till no quality is left.

>>287889667>>287889637it's 2026modern media piracy is just going to a main status tracker website that reports the status of sites that host the actual streamed mediajust use everythingmoe, for example
>>287889664They let you read the first couple chapters for free (if not the whole volume) It's also only 4 bucksYou can also keep up with ongoing series and read entire series for free as they comes outYou have no excuses beyond just wanting free shit or being poor
>>287889540>just skip the first 100 chapters bro
>>287889708Which is a terrible solution.
>>287889811What are you gonna do about it?
You guys seriously don't know how to bypass it? God, the IQ of this site has truly dropped

>>287889799If you want to read hundred chapters of a series you should be willing to pay for it. Not to mention that there's a lot of options to legally read so much for free.
>>287890601What kind of third world country to you live in where a months worth of rent is $10 or less?
Can't find good uncensored, non-reversed translated scans of Narutaru on this bitch of an internet.
>imagine paywalling your stolen content because people are reading your stolen content for free
>>287890660you're not buying and shipping the entirety of a manga for $10
>>287890704More like ripping your stolen content for another website to host the stole content and make money out of it.
>>287888775The time of a pirate site turning legit is long past. Back in the days of CR or Fakku digital distribution was still in its infancy. Now all the Japanese companies have their own solutions that they adapt to the global market, whether they are publishers or ebook store operators. They have nothing to gain from teaming up with Mangadex since the people using Mangadex aren't interested in official sites.
>>287890721Buy digital and you can get manga for under $1.
>>287890690There are none. Some amount of what's translated is just scans of the Dark Horse translation from forever ago. After that it's fan translations, which I doubt are censored, but I remember at least one full volume's translation being garbage. Nobody has gone back and did a good translation from the beginning. >>287890721Well if you buy translated and live in the US you don't have to worry about shipping, though it is more expensive (hence why I went with $10 and not the cheaper price you pay in Japan). For buying raws it depends on where you buy. Though I typically buy ~$70 worth of manga at a time because that gets you free shipping on the site I usually use. $70 is still very low for a month's worth of rent though. You could always buy digitally and you wouldn't have to worry about shipping.
Last time I made account there they got pwned.
>>287890513>it's not my job to spoonfeed youExactly. If the majority of retards like (You) can't bypass it then mangadex will never bother to patch it
>>287890774You're not buying shit digitally. It's all DRM'd to hell.
>>287890911You can buy and then rip them, which is what I do if I do buy digitally (usually if I can't find a place that sells physical volumes, like of older series). It got annoying to do with Amazon but I haven't had an issue doing it with Kobo.

>>287891845Not him but I just built a cheap computer (i3, no GPU, cost maybe $200-$300 minus hard drives), bought as many server/NAS quality hard drives I could stomach, and installed an OS focused on NAS'. It's really no different than building any other computer, you just need to know what you need and what you don't need compared to something like a gaming computer. The biggest issue I had was that I initially got faulty hard drives, which I had to return. The price is probably an issue now though with the price hikes for at least RAM, if not HDDs. The ram I bought for $50 for this computer was at like $200 the last time I checked.

>>287891981>private trackers no, thanks i don't want a second job also>torrenting manga
>>287891845The best time to do that was over a year ago. Even if RAM prices are recovering very slowly, hard disk prices are still fucked. For just a NAS it's really as simple as getting an old PC, giving it a fast SSD as boot disk and a couple of big storage disks, installing TrueNAS on the SSD and configuring the storage disks into a storage pool. It doesn't need any sort of impressive specs performance-wise, You can get away with even a 2-core CPU, but I would suggest getting at least 16GB of RAM.Personally I'm also new to these things. I just watched a few step-by-step tutorials on Youtube. There are a ton of them. Mine has a Ryzen 3600 with 32GB RAM as that was my previous system. I installed Proxmox as the OS because I wanted to do some other things with it than just storage, and I have TrueNAS running inside of a VM in there. A year ago I could buy 4 good 16TB hard drives for just a few hundred, but now just one costs over 500 bucks. I fear the day that it gives me a drive error and I have to replace one of them.

>>287890607Not even 10% of all the manga out there is available legally
>>287888725Mangadex is unironically the worst site to read manga on. Using a manga-reader like Tachiyomi/Mihon/You name it made me realize how dog shit that website is because of how very often a series its not up to date.
>>287892447How long did it take you to read hundred chapters? For me I max out at 50 chapters per day.
>>287892507How do you think manga is distributed if you think it's impossible to buy it?
>>287892507There's more manga available legally than illegally.>>287892547I assume he's talking about series from before 2010 where only the popular ones are available digitally.
>>287892097Try looking at legitimate Japanese sites instead of pirate crap like nyaa or Mangadex.Even if you aren't willing to pay for whatever strange reason you should have access to more than you can ever read.
>>287892567>There's more manga available legally than illegally.anon, I...
>>287892608How many series can you name that are available for pirates but not honest buyers?
>>287892567I have bought extremely niche shit digitally before. I recently bought several 90s shoujo horror manga volumes for instance. Plenty of things that are out of print physically you can still buy pretty easily digitally.
>>287892627pretty sure there's a lot of Go Nagai manga that isn't translated
>>287892678>translated
Any Mihon users in here? What extensions work best these days?
>>287892097I'm usually able to find volume raws at several sites, only hassle is that you have to click through a bunch of ads and use a download site.And of course they sometimes have water marks and decreased quality, but at least it's free.
>>287892692You cannot learn Japanese.
>>287892705Sounds like an excuse to not pay to me.
>>287888725Sucks if true, considering there were a lot of manga I left of backlock and I'm sure now with anime releases all got attention to get copyright'd Maybe the /co/ winothread archives or just old fashion torrents got some options
>>287892678Nobody said anything about translations.Go Nagai is one of the few remaining authors blocking digital releases. He had some exclusive to EBJ but they're no longer listed.
>>287892697>but at least it's free.Is that how you approach manga? Try looking for a different hobby if you can't appreciate the work people put into it.
>>287892795it's what I use for my scanlations
>>287892665In my experience it's a tossup. Some big names are missing and there are plenty of minor titles that have become available. If we consider manga made between 1960 and 2010 then 10% of it being available digitally sounds reasonable.

>>287889061>>287889205>>287891974>dummy emailMost sites don't actually let you do this because they require a "trusted provider," all of whom ask for a phone number on email creation even if you've never made one before. In this case it's easy to bypass so it's a nothingburger, but dummy emails stopped being useful years ago.>>287889479It's the only place scanlators still upload that isn't exclusively for yuri/yaoi or locked behind a shitcord server.>>287892607>for whatever strange reasonPlenty of people can't pay.

>>287893057>It's the only place scanlators still upload that isn't exclusively for yuri/yaoi or locked behind a shitcord server.you have places like mangago, mangaball, and mangatoro. mosty likely they're going to skyrocket soon in uploads even though they're shitty sites>Plenty of people can't pay.I buy a lot of manga, mostly raw, but no way in hell could I buy everything I read. these people are delusional. even japanese don't buy everything they read
>>287893057>It's not all that weird for someone to be a thirdie or disabled or a NEET or something and be unable to buy anything.Manga is so ridiculously cheap you need better excuses than that. It's GW and you can get series for under 100 yen per volume.
>>287892607I'm not paying, broKeep sucking on those balls, the corpos will thank you
>>287888725>mangadex is killAgain or still?
>>287893118NTA but all three of those compress images to shit, mangadex is (for reasons unbeknownst) currently the only hub that doesn't as far as I know.
>>287893057>exclusively for yuriWhich site? No, tranny-scans doesn't count.
>>287893118I only read manga I legally acquired. If I don't buy the magazines then I read them via subscription services. I don't even use the official free reading sites beyond a handful of titles.
>>287893168yeah but if you can't upload to mangadex, you can't upload to mangadex. it's only a matter of time, the writing has been on the wall for a year now
fucking zoomers pissing their pants when someone even mentions piracy
>>287893147The artists as well.
>>287889811>Which is a terrible solution.No it isn't you fucking myopic, stupid, lazy 60 iq retard. It's a terrible solution for you, because you a brainless mass of human garbage.
>>287893189I have no idea why you do that, but you do you. If it makes you feel better for god knows what reason.
What logic do the jannies even follow when it comes to deleting these threads? It seems like every time something related to Mangadex/other sites happens that makes several threads pop up, they actively remove all of them to make it look like they're against it, but then proceed to always leave one alive for several hundred posts, or sometimes even letting it get archived. Make up your mind already
>>287893322Is it not obvious they want to contain the meta stuff in one single thread?
>>287888725Thank god I'm learning Japanese and reading from bookwalker and other Japanese sitesAnyway there are other sites or just torrent stuff
>>287893322>Why are the janitors cleaning up excess threads and leaving one place for it??do you like to scatter the same trash in 10 different cans or would you rather organize it into a single bag
>>287893291I do it because it's already more manga than I can read. For instance I'd be interested in subscribing to Comic Days for Kodansha's lineup but it's simply too much manga. I prefer the magazine format over chapterwise releases and want to support it. In addition I buy the volume of series I like so that they don't get axed.
>>287893322what is containment threadalso they're not that fond of piracy threads and stuff like that since hiro is getting bucks from shueisha and kodansha to shill their stuff here now
>>287893118>mangagoThat's the yaoi site kek, other things get uploaded too but it's a solid 80% yaoi.Afaict everyone seems to hate mangaball because it's uber pozzed too so it'll probably wind up being either mangataro or nothing.>>287893131It does apply. The latter two groups tend to have no buying power whatsoever; you can't buy 100-yen volumes if you have 0 yen. There are also people living in places with draconian censorship laws where you can't buy what you want without risking arrest, in cases like that you'd be a retard not to pirate 100% just in case.>>287893171Bad news, brother. It's tranny-scans.
>>287889302French tls are good
>>287893427>There are also people living in places with draconian censorship laws where you can't buy what you want without risking arrestAs if pirated content would get a pass.
>>287893503Most governments don't really give a shit about what you pirate unless they have a reason to look at your internet history.
>>287893541Then they won't give a shit what you buy digitally.
>>287893427>That's the yaoi site kek, other things get uploaded too but it's a solid 80% yaoi.yeah but still if you upload there the other aggregators will scrape it after a while, so at least it'll get around. afaik it's the site mostly used for uploads after mangadex and dynasti readerI'd probably upload a couple of those places, and post it here and on reddit when mangadex is kill. at least it'll be a stopgap solution until another proper hub is up
>>287893541>he doesn't know what's going on in UK
>>287893576There's a chance you'll get away with it but your local bank is more likely to give a shit when they see your transactions.
>>287889708>everythingmoegreat shitdidn't know anout it, thanks anon
>>287893612It's just Paypal transactions or regular credit card orders. No store lists what you bought.DLsite/Comipo lets you pay with crypto if you're completely paranoid.
>>287893503>As if pirated content would get a passunironically, yesif you dont distribute a shitton of material, or turn attention towards you otherwise, you can get away with a lot of piracy where i livei mean it was a national sport back in the 90s after commies fellits definitely "not legal" nowadays, but nobody really gives a fuck in small volumes, or if money is not involved
>>287893503There's a pretty steep difference between billing something to your personal bank account (because only pirate sites and activists accept crypto) and using as many workarounds as you need to acquire something for free with minimal detection, yeah.>>287893580That's true. It works well enough as a temporary thing, but it's a shame that they ruin the quality so much. They're one of the worst I've seen in that regard, it's mangafox tier bad.
>>287893697an alternative is also just making a mega and just make a QR code in the credits to go there for direct downloads. or a cubari gist or something, I don't knowmy point being that there's still alternatives to mangadex, even if they're a bit cumbersomeI'm going to upload to mangadex for as long as it's possible, but I don't think it's going to be possible for much longer.
>>287893697>because only pirate sites and activists accept cryptodlpay-crypto.comThere are also other solutions like Amazon/Kobo gift cards that can be purchased with cash or used to obfuscate your tracks.
>>287893691If your country v&s you for purchasing loli eromanga then they'll v& you for pirating it.
>>287893746>my point being that there's still alternatives to mangadex, even if they're a bit cumbersomeOh definitely, all I meant with my original post was that as of right now the majority of scanlators just went back to mangadex or went discord-only after comick and weebdex kicked the bucket. Hopefully a solid alternative that most people can agree on shows up before md gets any worse.>>287893766Fair enough and cool of DLsite to do. All I'm saying is just that there are legitimate reasons why someone might be forced into piracy, whether because they don't have the money or consider it too high-risk to do normally for whatever reason.
>>287893917I don't see poverty as a legitimate reason.
>>287893917I don't think a solution will be up before mangadex kicks the bucket, I think one of the reasons weebdex chose to throw the towel in was because people just didn't use it. Except for a few manga that weren't posted on mangadex, the place was basically dead. People are complacent and won't change their use until they have to.Pretty similar to nyaa really, it's garbage and its hasn't been open for registrations in years, but there's really no room for a competitor.
>>287893982>argues against piracy on basically a piracy siteISHYGDDTseriously you've got you head in your arse
>>287894064Are you actually trying to legitimize your piracy? Stop pretending you're Robin Hood.
>>287894117are you for real
>>287893986Isn't it better for a smaller number of people to use it? It's just stupid to want something as well used as mangadex, with all the cost and bigger target that comes as a result. You don't want everyone using one original quality source for everything when multiple are better.
>>287891538Anon literally has no legitimate response to this.
>>287894171If you want to be a pirate, at least be honest about it instead of trying to make up excuses. You're never going to go legit no matter how many of your demands are met.
>>287894185spreading it around everywhere is probably the best betif I wasn't uploading to mangadex I'd probably upload to all of those three in addition to the manga subreddit and here, and perhaps a megadoesn't really take a lot of time uploading a place extra compared to the work and effort scanlating a chapter
>>287894225I buy way more than you do most likely, but I'm by far not delusional enough to think that I could buy everything I read, and definitely not expect it from others.Like I wrote, even the Japanese don't even buy everything they read. You need to touch grass.
I don't read a lot of manga. Can't you download everything instead of relying on sites hosting the chapters?
>>287894273when readers got introduced around 2007-2008, people stopped using downloads from IRC and #lurk almost completelyit's just way more convenient with readers
>>287894268>even the Japanese don't even buy everything they read.But they use official sites instead of pirating.And what does all that have to do with poverty legitimating piracy?
>>287889417>>287888725I hope their sellout fails horribly. Pieces of shit.
>>287894273You can buy magazines and volumes and download them locally to read them.There are tools to download from chapter reading sites but not for every single one.
>>287894328it's pretty much doomed to failthe publihers have their own solutions, there's no place for a crunchy modelwhen they go legit, they'll die like mangahelpers did 15 years ago when they tried the same thing
>>287893982That's your perogative, I suppose.>>287893986Agreed, unfortunately. Ideally something will come up once mangadex dies, but it's more likely things will just splinter off for a while.At least in nyaa's case they have a reason to close registrations with that CP spamming schizo who caused the whole thing in the first place (iirc), though it's been long enough that I don't see why they don't at least open private applications via irc or something.>>287894185It is better, especially given how hitting mangadex and then nu-bato fucked everyone over big time, but a lot of newer scanlators and readers alike prefer the convenience of a big centralized hub. It's more likely imo that everyone's just gonna migrate to one site eventually.
>>287894268>but I'm by far not delusional enough to think that I could buy everything I read,You never tried it.
>>287894383>but a lot of newer scanlators and readers alike prefer the convenience of a big centralized hub.i.e. MTL SEAmonkeys and shiteaters. We'd be better off without them.
>>287888725>is manga piracy just fucked now?
All I need is a way to rip off my follows off of mangadex, including the current read chapter count.

>>287894546Sometimes that's the only way to read something. Stuff that isn't translated and that nobody bothered to rip and upload. And I prefer to read what I want instead of not because I don't want to pay a few bucks.
>>287888775Those bastards killed 9 anime...
>>287892694This is what I use.
>>287894578If you have no option but paying sure, but given the option between getting for free and paying why would you pay?
Honestly I'm amazed it's gone on so long with no real restrictions and minimal advertising. It's inevitable that at some point the milk and honey would stop flowing.
>>287892567>There's more manga available legally than illegally.if you want to count cum stained, faded manga printed on 3-times-recycled-toilet paper a fat NEET pulled out of his asscrack and sold to make some buck,sure
I just cleared my cookies and it works again lol
There are more japanese manga sites than you can count that all use the exact same garbage archaic system that would filter any westerner from how anti-consumer it is (why yes I love to pay for half chapter to only rent it for a limited amount of time)Aside from jump I've only seen like one other manga site that does english translations but even with that they will never amount to anything on the west as long as they use their retarded system
>>287894655it lasted far longer than anyone could imaginestill the writing was on the wall a year ago when the dmca nuked the sitewe knew this was coming, and we had two replacement sites that died in less than a yearat this point I doubt a proper scanlation hub will be up before mangadex dies, and we'll just have to use stopgap methods like mangago, mangatoro, and mangaball
>>287894711kek
>>287894383A centralized hub with everything in original quality is fine, but it should be one of multiple with the same manga. So many others lower quality or add watermarks.
>>287894655>advertisingbro doesn't have adblock lol
>>287888725I still don't get why they went "official" and purged half of their catalog. Someone please tell me how's this beneficial to their website in anyway.
>>287894906they got legal threats over all the gook trash they hostif they'd just stuck to manga they'd have been fine. for some reason every single pirate site these days refuses to stay in its own lane and has to expand into irrelevant shit until it gets slapped down (see anna's archive deciding they needed to rip fucking spotify).
>>287894906the owner is public information, Henry Lin or something. they could've sued his ass to the moon and back if he didn't comply to the dmcas
>>287894887Do you? The site doesn't have any blocks on Adblock Plus that I can see. The only advert on the site is an unobtrusive banner ad on a few of the search pages that is just "advertise with us" most of the time. Compared with most other aggregator sites that drown you with popups and banners if you turn off the blocker, it's remarkable how little there is on MD.
we already have an archive When will this retard update the nyaa torrenthttps://nyaa.si/view/1304255
>>287894525The millions of alt chans. They might be dead as fuck but at least they'll never reach advertising, jeet spamming, chink spamming bot levels of 4chan.
>>287895067>Adblock PlusOne mistake already. Filter out anything else manually. There's no benefit to seeing 'advertise with us' if you aren't going to advertise with them. Why would you turn off the blocker on those other sites to even know how bad it can be?
>>287895114open discussion forums like 4chan and reddit are basically deadthey couldn't handle the bot issues and the flurrty of pajeet shillswe're basically back to private channels like discord. it's basically a new IRC era because of these issues again
>>287895145There are several other similar sites that got an increase in traffic when 4chan was down recently. I still check them and they are quite a bit slower but still active.
>>287895067If you aren't an advertiser paid to shill your website, why would you say all that stuff when it's invisible to everyone else? >"My website has an incredible ad policy! It's really remarkable how great our ads are."This is a trick question.
>>287888725>>287888774>>287888775So, whats the alternative ? Weebdex is also kill
>>287895244for readers just pick something randomly at everythingmoefor scanlators/uploaders basically only mangago, mangatoro, and mangaball

>>287895263are those the best places to upload them if you want them spread around a fair bit?
>>287895298no, but it's the only other optionsprobably better to post them here on /a/ and the manga subreddit as wellthen you'll pretty much reach most of the audienceand the aggregators will scrape them after a while
>read limitsI don't know any manga pirate sites cucked enough to do this. Mangadex is spiraling towards their death.
>>287895440Anyone who was scraping would only have to create multiple accounts.
>>287895440the writing has been on the wall for a year alreadyconsidering how terrible the site has gotten in that time, it's honestly surprising that they haven't thrown in the towel and people are still using their site
>>287895440>pirateits clear they've wanted to go legit for years now. they're trying to pull a crunchyroll. makes sense if they manage it, being a western catch all site for legal manga would make a lot more money than running a pirate site. will it work? prob not
>>287895491the publishers have their own sites already for distributing manga. there's really no place for a crunchyroll model
>>287888725They just deleted some Erotica manga too. Fuck that website, its 100% over.
So even pirate sites hit their phase of enshitification and manufactured friction
>>287895680mangadex went corpo last year, so it is to be expected
>>287895694And the site has been shittier longer than that so it wasn't an issue to begin with.
>>287895571More deletions than the other recent ones? I know some manga had their rating changed.
>>287895477Creating an account removes the limit entirely, so they'd only need to make one account to continue scraping everthing.
>>287895244Nice try, FBI, but you're not getting a list of sites to go after next.
>>287892097Go to a combini and buy manga, you lazy fuck.
>>287895856they already know about them silly goosethey can figure it just as easily as you just going to places like everythingmoe
>>287894605Sankyu
>>287895902then why do you keep asking?mm.
>>287892627Pretty much anything that is Ex-License or from a defunct company like jmanga
>>287893986They're also told at reddit that they need to use it and fed "its ads are better than everywhere else's!" in a process of brainwashing (the reddit mods are friends with the hub). Being redditor sheeple they need to do it and follow the herd because reddit said to do it and they're redditors from reddit.

>>287894225>You're never going to go legit no matter how many of your demands are metIt's been demonstrated that pirates are more likely to buy physical media (i.e. the actual stuff that matters) compared to legit people who stream. You can see this trend on /mu/tants, /tv/fags and /co/mblrinas, I come from a place where watching anime is completely normal and non stigmatized, and everyone and their grandma have a CR account.

wow this thread stayed up that's amazing

>>287891981I never migrated for the FTP days. Now I just download tanks and load them on a tablet for comfy reading.
>>287894400Do you? Do you buy all the media you consume? And why do you do it? Because it supports the artist even if it means you are experiencing the media for the first time and don't even know if you'll like it first? Or because it would be illegal not do so? If it's the first then could you say you are actually supporting said artist with the digital subscription you most likely are using? Or if you actually buy the physical media, do you think it's reasonable to pay a premium for every piece of media you consume? If you do something out of fear of breaking the law, then you don't have a moral ground against people who break the law. You simply hate that they do what you can get punished for. And arguing that otherwise would hurt the artist, is ignoring the evidence that at worst the subject is too complex to simply say it's true. Even if you are a hardcore moralfag that only wants to walk the path of justice, is it fair if the very legal way is designed to fill the pockets of distributors while paying pennies to the artist you are supposedly protecting with your laws created by the exploiting publishers? If there's anything I've learned with the latest xitter scandal regarding piracy, is that the nips only hate piracy because it's what they are supposed to do, just another example of the nail that sticks gets hammered down, even if privately they all wish to do or do it already.
>>287896644you're trying to argue with a pajeet shill that gets two shekels into his bank account each time he writes a piracy is le bad post
>>287888725>is manga piracy just fucked now?Does your mom still wipe your ass for you too?
>>287893386>piracy threadsIt's very funny that how you keep calling this a ""piracy thread"" when the topic is an UK corpo getting even more corpo. All the while shills appear to say the site great because "Its ads are better than other site ads". The implication being that your pozzed site = all of piracy. This is more like an anti-piracy thread, seeing as you keep trying to kill piracy with your shit.
>>287889793Where do you buy from? Can you download the shit you bought and read it wherever / however you want, or are you tied to some shitty app? Alternatively, can you at least rip chapters / volumes from your account with some 3rd party tool?I'm asking seriously, I wouldn't mind paying for things I like but I also don't want to spend money and then get stuck with some online-only manga DRM app or fuck knows what other kind of cancer.
>>287896996I use kobo with calibre and dedrm/obok.Still works but god knows for how long.
>>287897021Then if you have a Kobo device I take it you buy from whatever shop Kobo has? I actually have an e-ink device as well but it runs Android (a Boox tablet). I remember using calibre years ago but for epub books, not for manga.In the end, do those tools allow you to get something like DRM-free .cbz chapters / volumes of the stuff you purchased?
Goddess doesn't have ongoing manga so I still have to use MD after WeebDex died
>>287897227So wait, having too many accounts fucks the site up? And they start seeing this after purposely locking people out of reading after a certain number of chapters?
>>287897134I use the kobo desktop app, but apparently it's losing support in a short while. But I'm using it for as long as it last.You get a dedrm'd epub, but I mostly extract the images since I use them for scanlations at the best quality.
>>287897382Yeah I see, thanks anon. That gives me a direction to go in.

>>287897382>but apparently it's losing support in a short whileLike completely shut off so it won't work, or just not being updated anymore but it'll still work until something breaks?
>>287897783you can still use it, but I had to use vpn and change my location in windows to be able to log in, and it's a bit hard to download (you can find the download link in previous scanlations threads)it works the last time I used it a couple of weeks ago, but I have no idea how long it'll last. apparently until they change their store if I had to guess
>>287897914Hm, I haven't had an issue (no VPN or anything) with Kobo yet. And I'm using it with Wine on Linux. If they do discontinue the desktop version I wonder if there's a ripper for the site, or if someone will make one.
>>287897963you only need to use vpn if you're in a country that's not supportedI changed location to the us and it worked for me iirc. but it's only when you log in, so it works afterwards without using vpn
>>287888725Why don’t you programmers make a federated decentralized manga site that’s impossible to take down? I’m sure there’s something somewhere on GitHub

>>287899207they would go after the "face" of the platform anyway, probably the guy who hosted it in this case.remember how tachiyomi got fucked over manhwa? a reader app."Akchually, I don't host it" wont hold, or rather some demented judge will make you go bankrupt with a multiyear case.
>>287899207Piracy-adjacent projects have famously never been removed from GitHub.
>>287888725Only have like 6 stuff bookmarked.
>>287893986Weebdex was probably too popular too fast and the guy ran out of money.

>>287888725Buddy you should see the state of comic piracy
>>287901254I bought that manga from Amazon but now buy from Kobo. In either case I remove the DRM and rip them myself. There are no stores that will give you an unencrypted archive file.
>>287901417>I remove the DRM and rip them myself.How do you do that? I'm new to this. Is Amazon's DRM different from Kobo's? Are there tools for each or what?
>>287901579Amazon has been making it harder to remove their DRM so I'd go with Kobo. Just search how to remove DRM from Kobo and there's tons of results. Essentially all you need to do is remove the DRM and then convert it to a zip file (or whatever you want, some people say epubs are good for manga but I've never tried them, I like just a simple archive file). Takes like 5 minutes at most.
>>287901417>There are no stores that will give you an unencrypted archive file.DLsite, DMM, Booth
>>287896374>buy physical media (i.e. the actual stuff that matters) compared to legit people who streamLook at the sales data for anime and manga, digital revenue has long surpassed physical sales. Many manga are outright only available digitally.>/a/ related media exploded in the west in the first placeManga is completely carried by Japan alone, most titles aren't available anywhere else. The next big market is France, which was big well before piracy. >why would your media be the exception when every other media follows the same trend? There seems to be a serious stigma that leads to foreigners refusing to pay for digital manga despite paying for digital video, games, music etc.
>>287901875Normal people don't want people knowing they have anime shit especially physical media.
>>287900966this is what you said last timeand the time before thatand the time before that
>>287902384How is that stopping digital sales?
>>287902428You mean when Weebdex and Comick shut down and when Mangadex purged half their library? Or was it the time when Hombre hit Mangadex?
>>287894525Copious amounts of masturbation.
>>2878894174chan Gold... I mean, MD Gold Accounts coming soon!
>>287896644Because I can. For manga piracy is hardly an alternative to begin with. You only get a small number of titles and the quality is a severe downgrade. Meanwhile the commercial options are so plentiful and cheap that you get more than you can ever read.Very nice of you to provide moral support for the little guys exploited by big companies. Things like that can help them get through the harsh winter.
>>287891981Madokami was never a replacement of Mangatraders. It always had shit uptime, it was always slow to update even when it was available, and it was always more of a pain in the ass to navigate.It worked only as an archive of old shit if you felt like downloading an entire old series. You know, when it felt like working.
>>287896170That's just foreign licensed content. The original Japanese versions are still available.
>>287888725I find cubari good enough I just wish it doesn’t require a github account
>>287901632Thanks anon. I downloaded a few free volumes from Rakuten to see if I could remove the DRM, and it was easier than I expected... but damn, everything I got was pretty low quality, like 764x1200. Is Rakuten Kobo extra aggressive with compression, or is this the norm for digital manga storefronts?
>>287893131.t mirican
>>287889417Kek the new tranny janny said>We have temporarily reverted this since too many guests were signing up, and the auth service was beginning to degrade. We will try again later.
>>287902827It depends on the publisher and the date of release. Most have upgraded to x1920 or x2048 over the past decade but some like Shonengahosha or Hakusensha are still stuck at x1200. There's also a difference between magazines and volumes. On average the volumes are better but for instance Nihonbungeisha has x1920 for magazines and x1200 for volumes.
>>287893131Where can I find these mythical <100 yen volumes? Surely you're not talking about hole-in-the-wall used bookstores in Japan.
>>287902827Kobo only recompress if the file is too big, you should most of the time get the original image publishers uploaded.
>>287903242Ebook stores all have campaigns in this time of the year.Purely as an example, Shueisha has a campaign for their 100th anniversary with volumes for 100 yen including tax (i.e. 91yen without tax for us foreigners). BW has a campaign with 40% additional coin back.https://bookwalker.jp/select/4402/Look around and you'll see that other publishers and other stores have similar offers.When you've settled on a store you can make a wishlist that helps you track sales. It's common that old volumes of a series gets discounted when a new one is released.
>>287888725I remember in a thread a month or two ago there were like four people saying they had made or would make an alternative siteWhere the fuck are they
>>287888725Yes like how piracy was dead when Stoptazmo died.
>>287903300>Kobo only recompress if the file is too big,Do you have any examples for that? I got 300MB Akaneshinsha comics with x2880. Haven't seen them in better quality elsewhere.
While piracy won't die, the options/replacements have been getting progressively worse.
>>287903379Still waiting on /g/ to make a logo.
>>287888725I only use this dogturd site to get the official raw links otherwise i just download it from the rip sites that release volumes.
>>287903428Can't you find them with google?

>>287900299he got it up in october last year, right before ram and ssd prices sky rocketed. he couldn't have predicted that the AI companies would buy like 40 percent of the ram in the marketit definitely wasn't because it was popular
>>287903472Basically cubari with a scrambler/descrambler
>>287902571I think he meant when #lurk, mangahelpers, and batoto died.
Pay for the manga you fucking niggers this is why the west is such a shithole and why Japan is actually the only good country it's because they actually pay for their art
>>287903510I would imagine using Cubari as a reader but with an MD-like database/taxonomy so people can create new series, group chapters together, add tags and comments and whatever elsePlus whatever encryption I guess, I don't know
>>287903513Those happened a decade ago unless you mean the fake batoto that has no real replacement either.
>>287903410Yup. Even just look at anime -- you used to be able to just google "Bakabt <anime title>" and get a well seeded, high quality release of any show you wanted. Shit's been slowly getting worse for over a decade at this point.
>>287903539I liked it better when it was called Boxtorrents.
>>287902870No one could have predicted that suddenly requiring an account to use the site would lead to a surge in new accounts.
>>287903539The internet is getting worse. Search engines have gotten worse, communities have gotten worse. At this rate, we might really have to go touch grass. Or physically meet up with anons to discuss anime/manga like some kind of an anime clube. Like in the olden days, some guy just bringing his collection, set up a projector and watch together.
>>287903539I'll still consider us in a bit of a golden age for anime piracy thanks to the bottomless CR rips, but then again I'm old enough to remember when shows could swap subbers repeatedly with varying levels of quality and seeders. You could struggle to find a seeded version of every episode, or end up waiting days for something to trickle download only for it to stall at 98%.
>>287888725Pretty sure MD was already shorting "guest" users by using lower quality versions.
>>287903539That's on purpose. Search engines have silently been deplatforming everything that doesn't pay them i.e. official ad-powered mod/shill controlled by simply dropping them off the easy results, and in the case of things their betters don't want you to find, flat out dropping them from results at all.They want you to use the controlled environment with premium subscriptions and party-approved content.

>>287890607Why spend that time learning Japanese then? Just pay for the English scans.
>>287904747Do you read manga because you like it or because it's free?Reading in Japanese gives you the authentic experience and a far bigger selection to pick from. And it's cheaper than the translated versions.
>>287893210You don't "lose customers" to piracy. People who pirate were never going to pay to begin with.Secondly, this isn't a world where workers receive a fair compensation from their bosses. There is no reason to believe the author in question would receive even 1% of what their works made for their respective companies.
>>287904806>And it's cheaper than the translated versions.Then that's a reason to buy the English scans, if my goal is to support artists.
>>287904825Just buy multiple versions.
>>287904835My point exactly. No need to learn Japanese.
>>287904821Authors receive 15% of the value for digital manga volumes. They receive a fixed rate for manuscripts published in magazines etc that the publishers finance with their share of the volume sales.
>>287904843You're not reading manga if you don't know Japanese.
>>28790484915% is horrifically small in this context. I would not be happy if I had to give up 85% of my lunch away to somebody else.>>287904863Manga is manga. I know what I'm getting into when I read the English scans. If I can go through paying for something, I can tough through a different experience.
>>287904889Go sell doujin if you want a higher share. Publishers and stores provide a service that deserves to get paid.Or use patron services if you want even more money for less work.
>>287904825The artists don't see jack shit of that money though.
sadpanda, there is Non-H category you know?
>>287905137Commercial non-H manga is not allowed on SadpandaIf Fakku/Irodori shit gets taken down there's no chance the ponyfucker chances it with Kadokawa and the rest
>>287895244All of them are bad. Out of them all mangafire seems like the best alternative for reading but their tagging system is shit, it's sometimes slow and ads pop up even with an adblocker.
Seems pretty clear that this change is just to "encourage" account creation. Either that or the site is just spaghetti, since the change doesn't really do anything to stop scrapers, unless they're just incredibly poorly made. No changes happend for the API, so you can keep requesting there like normal, and even if you're scraping the front end you can just set your bot to clear cookies every 10 chapters, which shouldn't be an issue for even a poorly skilled programmer. If they wanted to stop or slow frontend scraping from ai bots as claimed, they could've just implemented some kind of captcha like every other website, but instead they chose a solution that specifically negatively affects actual readers and points them to make an account. Only reasonable conclusion to come to is that the programmers are out of their depth and didnt do enough research before implementing a solution (seems unlikely for a website that's been going for almost a decade), or they just want to bolster user numbers for some reason (ads, negotioations, etc.).
>>287904825Holy fucking retard, translations give exactly jack shit back to the nips making it.
>>287888725>he doesnt know
>>287888725>is manga piracy just fucked now?nyaa still exists
>>287903410yeah, most of them are shifting towards manhwa and catering towards phone reading third worlders guess it makes sense since most of them arent smart enough to use an adblocker
>>287903379>>287903472aw the thread is archived.
>>287906504Does this look like a solution to you?https://nyaa.si/?c=3_0
>>287905648That's because translations sell nowhere near as much as the Japanese versions. Otherwise translations still include royalties for the original authors.
>>287907390yes
>>287889444Good sources for untranslated manga are way harder to find that translated ones though, by far.
>>287889337The substitute sites required one anyway, I had to register on commick.io or what the fuck was that mess called
>>287888725How will I read mexican translations of the 3rd(?) Dance in the Vampire Bund now!?
>>287903499He's been running Niyaniya/the Schale network for porn piracy for years, the issue wasn't something being unpopular as even a big porn rip site is going to be smaller than an average generalist aggregator.I think Weebdex just got bigger than he could manage and he had to cut it for that.
>>287893986>>287900299>>287908470My crackpot theory is that MangaDex pulled a shady move and pressured him to shut his site down, since MangaDex seems to be trying to become the next Fakku by going legit. In the past, Fakku did the same thing to other hentai sites but this time, it looks like MangaDex wants to be the only translation hub.
>>287895244>pull up nyaa>works just fineWhat a nothingburger!

>>287888725First time?This shit happens every few years.
>>287908581FanTLs of most manga often don't end up on Nyaa at all, as opposed to official rips where most do show up on Nyaa. Torrent wise AB is better for fanTLs, but particularly only once a series is finished.

>>287907615Official sources aren't hard to find at all. Finding translations is impossible since they don't exist.
>>287908826NTA.>Official sources aren't hard to find at all.Only for stuff like Once Piece and Frieren, for anything else you need to use a nip VPN because they IP block everything outside nipland.

>this isn't just mangadex kuso thread but "piracy bad" kuso daily general
>>287908581Only for finished manga. Ongoing manga needs a mangadex-like website
>>287911279>Ongoing manga needs a mangadex-like websiteYou can update torrent
>>287894721Do any of these sites have an active comment section, or is that basically all gone now?
>>287888725I'd torture the jewcob wannabees that are managing this site.
