To be fair this is their livelihood. Chapters take hours to board sketch draw colour etc. It’s within their right to be super angry, rather than nudes it’s like their baby is being spread around.
They’re probably mad about the og korean version being pirated too u just might not see it
They’re being aggressive because we are stealing their livelihood. Don’t act like the victim here when we’re on a illegal site. They were actually being nice to let the uploader off with a simple warning. Also, they are targeting Korean sites too. Not just foreign ones.
Yeah if the author already know and told the uploader to stop, better to stop. And as a reader, manga go give us soooo many other yaoi manga just read the other if this one discontinue
She has every fucking right to be upset, she works her ass off making a story just for it to be uploaded illegally, She makes a living out of her story which helps her pay her rent or many other stuff.
they do say shit about og korean sites, even more so than english ones, only difference is those readers don’t act entitled and attack the author the way you english readers are doing
I mean, do you guys normally continue to threaten and insult a person who has admitted their wrongdoing and told you they will do what you ask to compensate? I'm not saying they can't get upset, but that's just overkill. Especially in a professional environment. Imagine if when you got pulled over for speeding or running a red light the police officer started screaming at you. All that does is escalate the situation.
I'm not here to debate what moral grounds piracy stands on, just don't think that was a very good way to handle the situation.
The uploader didn't even say sorry. And the "I guess" is kinda rude. So on that ground I think the author is entitled to be mad. Not only that, your argument is flawed.
A police officer has so much authority and has been briefed how they should treat an offender (although it doesn't stop police brutality).
This author? She is more like a store owner and we, as illegal reader, is stealing from her likelihood. So the correct metaphor is:
You as a store owner caught someone stealing from your store, would you just let it go and be professional in front of them? No right?
right? some authors are so hellbent on non-korean illegal readers when there are like hundreds and hundreds of illegal korean sites?
like ma cleanup your backyard first or something
The world is bigger than Korea. So if the international readers are killing the industry, of course you’d go to the source. The Korean websites are only for Koreans or people who understand Korean. This website can reach America, Mexico, Brazil, London, Africa, and Japan. Don’t you think that’s greater than the population of Korea?
Why was the author so overly aggressive? They don't have to be polite or anything but geez. They kept threatening the uploader (who only put up 2 chapters) even after they agreed to take it down. Based on their actions you'd think that person uploaded their nudes or something.
I've seen a shocking amount of Korean authors lose it over a single English chapter, then do nothing when their entire work is spreading like wildfire on Korean pirate sites.
