Yeah, I was a scanslator for filipino and korea anime and articles. We got shut down. So I went to work for another company as a translator. Again, shut down. Then, I got bored and crossed referenced internet traffic, and legal data traffic. You'd be surpirsed what are scanners and insiders pointed out. Due to the latest actions in Japan in which some fansubbers got busted for possessing and distributing copyrighted materials,[with intent to profit]. "not applicable to legal fansubbers and such", they left it open for people to share in a way with means to remove materials when it becomes licensed... This left it open for publisher to do the same. But soem publishing companies are tracking incoming traffic. Their scanners are being set to log extensive traffic.[I think that is to save data space and also to filter out casual users and users who come back and vacuum up alot of material]. our scanners couldn't tell how often they pinpoint repeating IP connections. It's a more accurate way of tracking people even if they are on routers, but we noticed log requests for MAC addresses also. The MAC address is static and embedded into most PCs made after 1999. So just a warning out there. watch out for the one's that sound too good to be true. The companies are baiting alot of people.
