WOW THAT SUCKS!!, those people must be extremely stupid for calling copyrights for covers, then why not sue google? you can get almost every cover and image you want... this is beyond stupid. here im MU you can read about a serie and when looking at the cover art you can decide if read it or not. If this site close down, mark my words thati those people that buy manga will GO DOWN the hill...

So Crunchyroll is to blame? Wish someone will do DDOS attacks regulary to them and see if they like it.

Very good point.
If anyone is actually monitoring the thread, take note.

Quote from Sayori x3
But yes, now that MangaUpdates is building a reputation for being easily targeted by publishers, others will likely join suit. We will have to see what happens, both here, and at other websites.


MU should have put up a little fight before succumb to every claim especially this one. Submitting without fight has made MU and "easy target" to any publisher who want to blow off some steam.

Would love to see one of these guys trying to sue Google laugh I bet they'd loose and get fined for wasting the time of Google employees.

Good Luck on the host search and make sure the next host has something like this in the contract: "In case of copyright infringement we will inform you and give you x hours to correct the problems"

This isn't about caving in. MU didn't have time to put up a fight when the host just shut MU down with no warning. Seeing as the admins are searching for a new host this is mostly just a temporary measure to get the site back up as fast as possible while on the look out.

Or would you rather have preferred for MU to stay down until a new host is found? roll eyes

Maybe you shouldn't announce CR releases, i think they were offended by that.

Haha, threw them away from releases list on the first day they came out. By the way that was right after scanlation group's links were removed.

>someone send DMCA

>MU complying

>some hobo from street send DMCA

I see a clear pattern here. S&M as it is.

Jesus, the people who run this site have no backbone. A single image isn't copyright violation. If you would bother doing even a LITTLE research about fair use, you'd see you're in the right. Or maybe, just maybe, try calling an attorney who specializes in these cases and ask for a free consultation.

"the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright."

That's a except from this site: http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/copyright-fair-use-and-how -it-works-for-online-images/

Seriously, lambchopsil, do you only use your time to peruse the forums? It's like you expect the members here to do all the work for you.

They never admit they're wrong. Maybe partially, but excuses abound! :\

where do those damn idiots come from?
this was already mentioned but hey, for you I'll repeat it again:
the host received the dmca notice, so the host took down the site.
mu temporarily disabled those images otherwise the host would not have enabled this site making it impossible for you to bitch around like you are currently doing.

think before posting. or even better: read, that doesn't even require you to fry your brain cells -_-

oh and I respect you and hope you don't feel offended by that!
