this site is still doing a Piracy even if the uploads are delayed. now im not saying they shouldnt be delayed or that the uploader isnt being a dick. cuz they are and its better to delay out of ettiquette but lets be honest with ourselves here...this is still IP theft and if u read anything on here for free that u could've bought and consumed the official way (basically anything licensed in english and available for purchase) whether its delayed or NOT ur still guilty of piracy and ur still "part of the problem" its fine if u want to assuage ur guilt by waiting a week but if yall RLY feel bad, instead of ranting in the comments or giving lectures just...go pay for chpts? and if u cant pay then maybe just accept that ur not doing the right thing either and ultimately ur care more about being entertained than whether the author gets paid. and like...IM fine with that tbh. because with piracy, if i wouldnt have paid for it if it was free i prob wouldnt have paid for it in full even if it wasnt free. i would've officially checked my bank acc (i buy comics regularly ftr) and been like welp guess 10 of these are being dropped. i can support more authors on a wider scale across platforms by buying one or two chpts a month from the authors i RLY like than if i had to spend the same amount on one comic which can run 100s of chpts sometimes. so that's My justification. but if ur not paying for comics at all. ever. then...what are u even going on about now? (im using a general You not you the individual. not trying to attack u specifically this is rly directed at every1 complainign in the comments rn. ur not actually helping). yes i know some people dont have credit cards/are minors or just flat broke but then u gotta accept that authors will get mad and judge u and want sites like this shutdown its not rly the uploaders fault anymore than its the fault of every one of us who comes here to read comics instead of paying for each chpt every time. (but again i do think delaying is the LEAST we can all do but lets not pretend that we're not all on shaky moral ground here. ty)
You are right with some of what you say, but I don't agree with all of it. Some other comment here said that with mangas it's like with movies: they make the most money within the first few days after being released. So if the uploaders could just wait a few days or weeks then more people will get impatient and buy the chapter. Of course not everyone will, but least a few. And what you are right about is that it's better to buy a chapter from time to time because you cannot afford to buy all, but it's better than not buying chapters at all. I also do it like this and of course I also read many chapters here which I cannot afford to buy, so I'm not innocent either yeah
i just disliked the one of some comments acting like any of us are on a moral high ground. but! you are correct that delaying is better for pulling in money overall however if the author has alrdy complained to the site mods or publically about this...idk why they wont just take the comic down tbh? like this would solve a ton of problems. yes it sucks for people who were being responsible but just couldnt pay but that's what happens. i for one support delays like i said but if they arent going to delay then what should happen is banning the uploader and removing either their chpts or the whole webtoon off this site. also i am surprised at how many people dont know how copyright law works lol. byeongduck cannot get the whole site shutdown (also idt they care to?) they can only file a complaint of copyright infringement and threaten a lawsuit UNLESS their work is removed. which if they havent done alrdy, they will eventually. it may have not happened yet only cause of some language barriers and her location being outside the US. (but as she's on lezhin eng she should certainly still have options)
Many people said this already. But honestly, if the chapter gets uploaded so early the author will face a huge financial loss because no one will be buying it anymore. Either they will be forced to stop their work, but before that they will do anything tu sue illegal sites and mangago will eventually be taken down. Is this really a risk you want to take? If you want to upload on insta fine, I don't care if you get caught on insta but for fucks sake don't make them take away this website from us PLEASE
