Mangahelpers can go to hell. They acknowledged that the document was real and tried to pull the wool over our eyes in the mean time. I hope they go down and that Viz burns them to dust.

well, i can't say i'm surprised by this. they tried to do this whole thing behind the fans' back and now that just confirms their duplicity.

Doesn't look real...besides the obvious grammatical errors, how can a private email of such content be so easily leaked? The drafted email and business plan I can understand since it's obvious that more than one person was aware of it, so anyone could have leaked. But this is just fake... 🤣

And well that MH admin did say the email was a draft, meaning it has not yet been sent. How much truth those words hold, I have no idea though. 😮

I have to thank you again. It's been a while since I've had this much d**k on my computer. :'3

What I don't like is that:

5.5 Strategies
5.5.1 Promotion
MangaHelpers and its staff are well-known figures in the scanlation scenes, with contacts to most of the scanlation groups. MangaHelpers will utilize this advantage to spread the promotional words out. MangaHelpers will also utilize its influence to ask scanlation groups to stop scanlating the titles available in the digital content online distribution system. Currently, it is the fastest way to send the message to the intended target market.

LooooooooL
They are what they are thanks to scanlation group, and then they will ask them to stop?? And the way they think they've some influence in the scanlation world made me lol!!!! Bullshit!!! 🤢

And no way I'm buying manga online!! I loooove to have my copy in my hand, and it'd cost more to read online than to have a pretty copy in the library!! 🤣 🤣

I'm disappointed, truly... And I really hope that MH will crash xD

Those "e-mails" are 100% fake. They'll only cause more confusion so stop spreading them around the net. GEEZ. >:-(

I have to agree with you and say that I also think this stuff looks a little iffy. Anway, I doubt that VIZ would participate in anything that foolish. ....I hope 🙄

This has to be fake. He hasn't even sent the email yet and this was too easily leaked and convenient. 🙄

Notice that the dude registered a few minutes before posting that stuff. And he never logged in again after making that single post.

Oh well...

It would be even better if you deleted those links as well.

I wonder who leaked the (draft) proposal? Could it have been intentional to gain attention without approaching VIZ directly? I mean there are what, 4-5 people involved? Or maybe I'm just thinking too much 🤣

Anyways, I know several people are not against the idea of removing only the licensed series from MH, but I don't think VIZ or any publisher for that matter would want any association to anything that the allows illegal distribution of manga. I think that the current MH would ceased to exist, whether this plan goes through or not there would definitely be changes.

well for if this goes through and MH loses its much audience(which they probably will judging from the reactions) it would be a truly great chance for Baka Updates and others to step up and hug the spotlight for the underground manga community xP.

Quote from m64

they can't sell what isn't theirs... period. if they do they open themselves to lawsuits. strictly speaking they can ONLY sell what they bought the rights to.

at most they can privatize (pay to dl) the site like tazmo and have you pay for "access to their server" as an indirect way of paying for free shit done by others who aren't being paid on series that they didn't buy the rights to. which would still open them up for lawsuits from jp publishers.

either way they are sellouts

Well u never considered why a person would be registering a few minutes before and posting a single post. I am that lala2080 and if I told you those were genuine stuff and i posted this just to protect my real identity. Would anyone believe? I doubt so.
