It's over

Is it really that big of a problem when their manga is pretty cheap compared to everywhere else.

Who's stopping you from getting the raw yourself?

What's stopping gaijins from buying japanese manga and scanning it in their country? What's stopping japs from using VPN?

how many threads you need to start over this nothing burger
will you stop at 5, or will you continue making them months from now?
get a fucking life

Good thing I'm not a filthy jap and can just go online to download what I want.

I'd pay for manga if there was some sort of subscription service that actually had most if not all series
like netflix but not shit
that'll never happen though

just saw that, calm down your panties

But piracy made manga big in the first place

Travelling to japan to buy raws then fly out of the country to upload them is tedious.

These two cover pretty much almost all magazines. A bit over 15 bucks a month for both.
With the amount of scanlation groups they could just set it up from the various ads/donations they get either way. Or the money they collected by begging for scanlations even though they use raws from das.

You can buy digital raws while being outside of Japan. I've done it before. I'm not sure how this law would affect someone in the US buying digital raws through Amazon and then uploading them.

It's easy to do that for anime because there's a specific number of anime released each season (though it's still split somewhat between CR, Netflix, and Amazon) and you know that there will be people watching each of those shows. There's way too much manga in way too many different magazines though and quite a lot of it, even if translated, wouldn't get any readers anyway. It's a shame. Though I imagine you're talking about translated things. You can apparently do it for just the raw magazines like posted. I wonder how easy it is to rip the raws from this.

I'm legitimately curious to see if this is going to change anything.

Probably not in any way, I've bought the manga of my waifu's series from Amazon using a random debit credit card and some fake Japanese address. If anything, she'd get arrested because I used her name! I'm sorry honey

what series

You know... you can watch channels from other countries...

Nothing will change. They already had a law similar to this and as far as I'm aware the only time they charged somebody with piracy was when some guy literally went to the police and told them to arrest him because he's been pirating anime

Nothing special, but Charlotte

I think that user meant manga raws.

I'm curious as to HOW it will change things.

oh, it's you, Naofag
I remember you from The Day I Became a God threads
we need more people like you and less normalfags
keep doing what you do, you glorious autist

No one even uses das raws anymore. Only small ESL viet spic groups.

Sucks for the japanese. Too bad, I don't live in Japan though. Still, too bad for them.

It won't happen. At least in less than a decade. The companies would keep their shares but the creators would basically receive near null royalties for their manga. Only shueisha pulled it off but I doubt the mangaka make anything from it.

Pfft, like that changes everything. Jap site has the worse web security EVER. That's why anyone with little knowledge can bypass their paywalls. Tighten their security first before passing useless bills like these.

They'll hide a killer queen on one of the pages that'll only appear when you scan it so that if you try to read it digitally, you'll bite the dust.

clickbait screencap threads go to

Maybe I should make an anonymous tip to ebookjapan and bookwalker about their crappy security and that Das guy.
Will I kill scanlation then?
