To the RH & manga community,
It has been brought to our attention that one of our main translators has been arrested. We have been informed that it might be related to his involvement with one of our manga series that we are currently scanlating. Furthermore, we have been receiving C&D from Kodansha (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodansha) to end our projects, otherwise face legal charges. However, we never thought it would escalate to this level. We are currently doing everything in our power to assist the translator in question. We are sure we can keep this person from facing any strong legal charges, however to ensure that no other member must face anything of this nature we will disband for the good of everyone here.
On another note, many of our fellow members are thinking of starting up an Anime Fansubbing group afterwards. We will be recruiting, and will be deciding on which Anime to sub for Spring/Summer of 2010. If anyone is interested please feel free to try for a position as there were not a lot of members who had experience with Fansubbing.
The RedHawk Scanlation team would like to thank you all for your support. Without you guys it wouldn’t have been
possible to get this far, so from the bottoms of all our hearts, thank you. We're incredibly sorry that we cannot continue to provide quality scans to you all. Let’s hope this Fansubbing group that we’ll be forming will stay just as strong as our scanlation counterpart has been up until now.

Just read this. Something like this happening means that there are dark days for scanlation world.
Apparently you face criminal charges if you do this this.
I guess arrested translator is Japanese, but this practice could easilly spread. But, hey, maybe this is just April fools joke...although I don't think they would be messing around with something like this.
Arrest for manga scanlations, really?!!!
