We received this from a staff member of NarutoBuzz:
"For a previous release NarutoBuzz featured the work of another scantlation team (slighty touched up by us), we sincerly apologize for any confusion that we may have caused, we did credit the team however we apologize for not obtaining proper permission, NarutoBuzz will avoid such behavior in the future and sincerly apologize to the Scantlation Group whose work was featured. We also thank MangaUpdates for reconsidering our Ban and promise to be as Ethical as possible in the future. We have been greatly humbled by this experience and thank everyone for allowing us to further serve the Naruto Community."
As a result of this formal apology to the original scanlators, Mangaupdates will again report NarutoBuzz releases.

I didn't see what exactly happen, but they did credit the group but overlooked the matter of permission. I've seen worse or equal junk pulled. Some of it wasn't for Manga-Updates to deal with (that one group was scanslating a work and another group decided that they want to scanslate it without even saying anything).
But I don't follow this group, and Manick and such chose what to do.

yeah i say whatever. they apologized so screw it. ya live and ya learn. still too many groups working on naruto though.... and my definition of too many is more than one <_<
why back in the day we didn't 'download', we had to swim to japan if we wanted fresh anime and that was only if...
I dream of a better tomorrow... where chickens can cross roads and not have their motives questioned.

I don't know, even if a group is being credited, that group who did the cleans never allowed them to use the scans, even with proper crediting. And that's why they reported in the first place, right?
And it's not the first time they've done this either.

If they do it in the future, and are caught, they're gone off the site forever (and they know that). Everyone deserves a warning.

I agree with that, live and let learn...but if they do it again, the full wrath of the online community should be brought to bare.
