I agree with you. It's reasonable to want credit for your work but if your work is essentially riding off the wave of stolen content from comic artists (who usually are not wealthy by any means and have very extreme work schedules!) I can't feel sorry for you
Doesn't mean I'm against piracy by any means but it's something you're kind of signing up for when you translate
Yea I'd understand if they were mad about their illegal translations being posted social media sites where it could gain a lot of attention enough to reach the author, but of it's being shared on other illegal sites? Is there a bad reason?
RIGHT?
I’ll be honest it’s really hypocritical for illegal translators to be upset about their translations being posted on other sites. Yes I understand why; they worked hard on it, but when you’re posting someone else’s paid work for free you don’t really have a right to be upset when someone does the same thing you’re doing to someone else…
Of course I am grateful for all translators especially when it’s not available in English. And it’s not like I’m saying “you shouldn’t read illegally” because obviously I don’t care. Just pointing out the hypocrisy
