It’s not really appropriate to claim you have a “raw provider” when the chapter was ...

You’re reading on an illegal site, you really don’t have a right to complain about the morality of not buying raws.

you’re correct, it’s not legal, but that isn’t justification for being as terrible of people as possible while we do it, my guy.

and i didn’t say anything about them not buying raws, i said CLAIMING that you are the raw provider, when you steal another group’s chapter is no good. if they have gotten permission from that group first, the raw provider would be the other group name, not their own. other sites will even take down their chapter if the other group decides to report it.

i’m speaking as someone who does do (you’re correct) illegal scans for multiple groups, and there are certain ethics most of us try to follow (getting re-tl permission from other scan groups, giving proper credit, buying and promoting raws/official tls, not sniping, stopping tls when officials come out, etc).

it’s okay to hold other people and yourself to a higher standard even when doing bad things.

just saying this in case you might think I was the one who did the scanning. No, I only put the notice fir officials tho the chances of getting off are slim but just in case..hehehe.just saying.didn't mean to be offensive..

i was aware that your claim notice was separate from the scans group’s chapter, but it’s good that you clarified in case anyone made that mistake!

I thought the uploader wrote somewhere else that they have a raw provider and you were going off of that, but it turns out you were just confused. Maybe the group who did scans did get the permission from the Vietnamese scan group. It seems like you’re making assumptions here.

I think the same can be said to you about assumptions? Although OP could've put it in a nicer tone, I don't think they credited the original group anywhere (unless I'm missing something). From that alone, I get a hunch that they might've stolen it. If not, it's all good then. I work in scanlation teams as well, and the OP has a strong point about the whole raw provider part too. Why list yourself as a raw provider when it's someone else's?

It's their first time doing this, so I do want to give them the benefit of the doubt. However, I think they should learn to credit properly (or at least briefly mention it).

BRO YOU'RE LITERALLY READING IN AN ILLEGAL SITE. that should be the least of your concern
