The following is taken from a blog post by Pure Scans

Pure Scans is closed due to conflicts of opinion. All series are dropped. If my word means anything at all, please obey the following:

opposed will do Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai
Shinnen & Be With You Scans will continue Peony Pavilion
Be With You Scans will continue Otome Youkai Zakuro and No One Knows
kono-basho should take over Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge
Maigo Scans will likely take over Wa! (KOJIMA Akira)
Itadakimasu~ will continue Zombie Romanticism

A just ruler amongst tyrants

Never really understood "possession" of rights to translation Manga . Maybe it's just me ?_?

*translate

I will be sad to see a great scanlation group leave MU ;_;

back in the day, it was an unwritten code not to steal someone else's series. the only exception to this was some of the jump manga (and it happened around the same time as speed scans). there were huge fights on IRC channels for stealing series and such (also whether or not claiming before releasing counts). if you dont understand that just consider it a matter of politeness.

For the record, Opposed is fully staffed, and is not looking for any help with Ore no Imouto.

Groups that care of nothing more than getting releases out the door, quality-be-damned, notwithstanding, there's actual costs involved in scanlation, and a lot of hard work and time put in. Put yourself in the scanlator's shoes: You buy a book because you really love a particular series, then take the time to find staff, scan it, and get it translated and edited, all the while paying careful attention to quality. Then your group is disbanded. Would you rather see the series you poured time and money into go to some group that might, or might not, give a crap about finishing the series with the same standards of quality you hold?

I know for a fact that's the case with Pure. Pure cared about quality, and actually purchased/scanned all their raws. When the group disbanded, the projects were handed off to people the staff knew could continue in the same vein, and said raws (and any in-progress artwork files) were transferred accordingly.

So the "it's mine" issue, in this case, is about allowing someone who put time and money into something to actually see the project finished to (satisfactory) fruition.

That I now have to drop due to theirs "no mirror, IRC download only" policy.

What part of "Please do not put in huge images!" did you fail to understand?

"Drop" in what sense?

Drakron, no one cares.

It isn't even so much as that. All it is someone giving information on what's happening--no, scratch that, it's giving information on who said they would continue the projects after he let them go. That's all it is, nothing more, nothing less.

not to mention, they also had a lot of joints with other groups.

So... what exactly does "conflict of opinion" mean? (not that I have read any of their series though... just wondering)

Quote from LawX

You are like the dense main character in a shoujo manga.

Quote from Crenshinibon

And you will murder someone one day, pika. If you're my daughter.

I was on Opposed's IRC channel and they had a message stating they weren't picking Ore no Imouto.

So, are they or aren't they?

Opposed is much less a scanlation group as it is a collection of very skilled scanlators. Monkeyvoodoo intends to release Ore, but that doesn't necessarily mean the group as a whole does.
