The latest issue of Windows 100%, a monthly Japanese PC magazine, ran an article on the various methods of acquiring manga raws from forums, websites, and blogs.

Sites featured in the article include jCafe, The Lurker, Manga Helpers, Ritual Scan Forge and more. A scan of the article can be found here.

Thanks to the news-submitter whose name was unfortunately lost due to a small accident

Inside Scanlation - TYPE-MOON

Will someone translate the article. What does it says about the sites?

The only light in eternal darkness is heroism... and manga

Yeah..and now http://deathwisher.wordpress.com/ is suspended.
Great job Windows 100%. -_-;;

his blog got suspended even before the mag came out, so it's not their fault 😉

From the Deadlands I descend'

'I'm here to take Revenge!

The Lurker is only for Yaoi, Yuri and normal hentai!! rofl!!! they prolly meant http://gotlurk.net

Oh god, now publishers are going to have a suehappy spree, killing off all the sites listed in the article..

Not technically

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.
