Hello, please read this
Yall the uploaders dont give a single fuck about all of us telling them to stop uploading early they called us clowns, snitches basically talking shit about ppl who are telling them to stop
they are doing this on purpose, they dont care about the authors either, this uploader otakutingzz I messaged them on insta their account was public but today they went private, they were called out by the author of POTN and other authors they apologized but came back with a team they also have a GoFundMe with over 450$ donations, on their gofundme they said they upload with the authors permission (my ass) and thay they want to support the authors and make a difference they're obviously lying and their goal for donations is freaking 5000$ they're clearly benefiting from stealing the authors work and uploading right away gives them money instead of the author, go to their discord and gofundme and report the fuck out of them, they're fucking disgusting
honestly, whoever the admins of this site are, should just take down potn for now. byeongduck wont care about the site if their comic is taken down. other comics have been taken off the site completely (permanently) before and its the smart thing to do. those comics and potn are available elsewhere but cooling our heels is the best way to calm the author and halt DMCA take downs.. but just to be clear you guys all of u in the comments...potn cant get the whole site shutdown. the way it works is the IP holder has to claim infringement on their property and then threaten legal action if their comic isnt taken down. once it IS they dont rly have legal recourse to shut the site down without like getting a shit ton of other people involved. i doubt byeongduck has that kind of time or interest. if yall rly care about the author and want these shenanigans to end. just take potn down either forever or for at least a few weeks to make up for any extra losses she may have experienced cause of toxic scans (they are truly aptly named). thats my 2 cents
The thing is when BD takes legal action this will bring other authors attention and they will all team up to take down this site, rightfully so
I agree. I don’t understand why the admins continue to allow them to do this.
u guys should worried if you guys want to keep reading potn on this website. well i mean for free. it's not that hard to wait for a few days to upload a new chapter here
this site keeps eating my replies. smh. this site can only be taken down with 1. class action lawsuit that they win and 2. criminal suit filed by the appropriate authories or 3. whoever is hosting/funding this site decides to cut service or funding cuz of too many DMCA notices.
all this site has to do, is take down the creator's work when asked, if that happens they will have no further legal recourse unless one of the above 3 options is taken right after. the chances that byeongduck can recruit 100s or more creators across countries and language barriers for a class action lawsuit is highly unlikely and will require more time and energy than i think she would want to expend. easiest, quickest, best way to end this is to remove her work from the site.
It’s actually not. She doesn’t have to recruit. She can just make a public stink and other Mancha artists can take notice and do it too. It doesn’t have to be her alone or her pushing it. There are multiple sites like this but not many with English translations that keep up with uploading.
im saying thats highly unlikely. esp since manga has been uploaded online for decades with no issue.. the current issue is mainly from a handful of korean webtoon creators so. thats why i said, the best way is to just appease this one creator instead of flipping out over this.
They're calling us ungrateful bitches, what do you expect from them?
You are so right in that regard! I’d rather they remove it.
And yet they fly off the roof when people call them "scammers" hahahaha! My friend messaged them earlier on insta and email, asking them, rather nicely, to be considerate and not to post immediately after the author so she can earn a little bit more money. She was bullied right back, even called a "shameless virgin complaining about gay porn". When she told them she was actually married, she was called names and mocked for being a "30 year old OLD woman enjoying yaoi" (didnt even know there's an age requirement in enjoying yaoi hahahaha!) My friend showed me ss of their email exchanges and i was so appalled, my hairs actually stood on end. Disgusting. This group is really disgusting.
These people are LYING WITH A GOFUNDME. They claim the author will get a portion. That is untrue. The author has already expressed NO ALLOWANCES for reposts of her work. They are fucking scamming people and pocketing the money they claim is for the author.
