It isnt that I am afraid of getting sued...it is because I know I will if I put up scans. It borders on copyright infringement

I wonder if it (the law) affects full or any manga scans. I ought to check it out too ;P
 
I have checked it out, if you scan magazines up and publish them on the web then you are giving people something for free thats meant to be charged. This is illegal

I guess you mean full scans, and that has something to do with copyrighted material O_O;;
With all those hard work those Artists and Storyline writers have put in, free manga scans circulations on the web will be the last thing they will want to happen.
 
there are tons of online manga people scanned. =/ i've read many of them for free, most of them were "scanlations".

scanning full pages = ripping cds into mp3s = ripping games into roms

i think mp3s and games are what companies worry about more. :confused:
 
Maybe if they are games and music companies...but companies that publish the manga would be as pissed off at scanning and 'scanlations' as Nintendo is whenever a game is made into a ROM
 
That probably will not happen if the manga is translated and distributed everywhere, but sadly, it isn't. I heard from someone that the manga is not available in Poland and many other countries that are not in Asia.
 
Then whatabout your episode pictures? Isn't that nearly like an episode download because your pictures show every movement? I'm just curious.
BTW, On topic...

I've seen tons and tons of people scan manga and one that even scanned like the whole volume! I don't see any shutting down on it... BTW The games are more expensive than a manga book, why would they worry about the manga more?
 
Episode Pictures are fine as it does not include the text of the episode and makes people want to see the episode themselves. My pics dont show every moment either

Scanning the Manga is illegal. And that does not change at all. It is as important as games or episodes. They may be less expensive but that doesnt make them any less important

The only reason those sites didnt get shut down is because Nintendo hasnt been made aware of them. I know for a fact that I get Nintendo Reps on my site so my putting them up would be suicide
 
I have a question
What if you own the manga but dont know what they say? Is there people who can make scripts at least?
 
I have seen at least one website which translates speech bubbles from Japanese Pokemon Comic Books
*Digs out link*

This one is about the Getto Daze Manga, and seems not to be dead yet.
 
Well. If I get my scanner soon.... I will post some manga sacans.. maybe...But first I need to get some mabga. (me a noob to manga)

Oh really?
Was it Nintendo that published the manga? Does Viz even care of continuing Special? Will Viz sue a site that shows scans and scanslations of the manga it stopped 2 years ago? *sigh*
 
:P then i guess manga scanning is reserved for the smaller sites then that rarely anyone knows about.

hummm screen shots of movies/episodes/manga and game screen shots all belong to them, its either nintendo or gamefreak (i'm not quite sure). the only thing that we can LEGALY say belongs to us is a walkthrough of the games we write ourselves or episode synopsis or fan fiction or fan art ect; everything else belongs to them.

oh yes, card scans also belong to nintendo or wotc whoever made them. =/ but card dekc strategies that we write ourselves and imaginary decks that were create can belong to us.

=D i think that makes sense.

there used to be one with full toshiro ono scans...it was called "Pikachu Thundershock" if i remember correctly. the web page was also about aaml. :P i loved that webpage, they had the full scans zipped.

mmm, people can still personally share manga without large companies knowing, its just that posting it on large web pages makes it obvious. its like "here's the evidence, now arrest me!" :D hehheh.

oooo, translating bubbles seems like fun! i guess that would be a safer way to go.
 
Well. When kazaa wa legal I didn't realize I could get that kind of stuff. Sadly!
