Well, they were distributing the manga from a website (and I think were charging people, or was that another case), so it wasn't that hard to track 'em down.

It doesn't say anywhere that they were charging people.... So I guess they just got caught.

I was talking about this, 11 artists and some manga uploaders who charge people for manga. Can't tell if the two case are the same though.
