Due to some companies asking for the removal of download links, I have decided to remove all links for licensed series. Please do not report these download links anymore.
Thank you.

Edit: You can still report these releases, but please do not include the download links.

Uh-oh, you'd better take them all down, then. All manga is licensed. The production of all scanlations constitute copyright infringement.

So should we still add the fact that we did release, just no DL links?

Actually, you can still add DL links, but it won't help at all...since a script automatically takes off DL links for any release associated with a licensed series

Don't think that would be illegal - in the US at least. Scanlations are illegal internationally in general, but I don't think just listing such scanlations is illegal.

Does this mean that when a group has release notes, like SaHa's Kodomo no Jikan (let's pretend that it's liscensed), that this will not show up?

Can I ask what the little page things are next to some titles' names? The World is Mine, and Mahou Sensei Negima! both have them.

Personally I think the companies are morons. Let's see this is licensed...EH! Wrong your english dub of the series is licensed, not the original japanese language which is subbed by fans for free. Or Manga which...let's face it you have lost interest in. How do I know? Several book, comic, and online stores and not a single one has Berserk as far as I do. I'm up to volume 33 most stores have only up to 18 at most it's pathatic.

That means you have those series on your reading list. It's supposed to make it easier for you to find them in the list of new releases.
Some companies, huh? Well, licensed is licensed.

Well that's incorrect. a company can "licensed" a series, what that does is that anything related to that "license" is under the rights of that company (additional terms may be stated in the contract). If the company for some odd reason wants to sell the DVD not dubbed or Manga not translated. They still have full rights to the series and can lawsuit for pirated copys even if they didn't do anything with that series as long as it's in the country that it licenses it is in. While the fansubs (actually text translation) is not illegal. The video/audio you're watching/listening to is. And you're right though most manga in-stores are behind to scanlation. But you should still buy the manga after you read it to support the mangaka. While, I'm not certain of this part, they probable get a bit of commission from you and encourages future works from them to get printed. Just get your facts straight. It's not like we're going to die if they make it a bit harder for people to get links.
