You can get the naruto manga for free there, but it would have saved quite some time if i had found another site to dl from 😀 . I think so many people are members of it because its the first site that pops up in google 😛 .

Everyone knows Tazmo is wife beater - there were people on stoptazmo.com he seen him do it (I'm one of them).

But now seriously - we should increase anti-Tazmo awareness so people would get free stuff (manga fan-translation) for Free ! and not paying money to a guy who just established a server.

Since you say he's a wife beater 😔 , and you saw 'em among other people how come he's not arrested? If he were arrested wouldn't his server go down?, and thats it end of problem?ne? 😃 , LoooL I saw the bash tazmo section but is that really tazmo? I don't think so...

I think he was joking about the wife beating. For now all we can do is let people know. Hopefully lots of people will read this thread and realize that if they just take the time to look the scanlators' site or the many free ddl sites they wouldn't need to pay that ass a cent. But let's face it people are generally stupid and naive and may not even pay any attention to us. People are just too easy to fool and too hard to enlighten that's the problem. You'd be surprised how many people prefer to shell out the clams rather than take the time to learn how to get it for free 🙁

Quote from Stealth

The funny thing is: that the first time I ever heard of this tazmo guy (or even his site) was after visiting stoptazmo...
And I seriously can't feel sorry for anyone who got ripped off in a membership (I feel that they kinda deserved it...), and if people stopped being morons and stopped using and supporting that site, well it will die off on it's own. But that won't happen as long as there are still people dumb enough to pay to download from there instead of taking 3 minutes of their time to visit the scanlators website and get it free... (and I feel that is a minimum of respect that the scanlators deserve).

True, Before I found Evil Empire and MU, Stoptazmo was my main site. 😃

As strange as it is, even my friends who hate manga knows about stoptazmo.com

Does anyone have solid evidence on what he's doing? Maybe they could publish it on line.

I will ignore any comment made to me about subject straying from the main topic, such as welcoming me back, because I'm a good person who listens to the mod. 😐

Yeah, considering you're in Poland, and he's in Canada, I highly doubt that happend. 😀

Even though I disagree with what he is doing, I do have to admit it's a highly successful business venture.

Either way, this Tazmo person sounds hilarious. According to Stoptazmo, he's pretending to be a lawyer in Canada to get rid of stoptazmo.com...........is it true? 😕

Not taking his defense or anything...

But his concept of having fast http downloads is what most people are looking for (to not say everyone, because someone can come in and say he's not and it will mess up with my premise). A lot of people don't know how to use IRC, torrent and some of them don't want to know how to use it (too much of a hassle it seems). They would rather pay (let say) 10$ per month instead of taking an hour or two to learn, meaning that the effort of learning worths more than 10$ per month. Thus, they turn to site like his.

Of course they could go to free sites like Evil Empire and Manga Uploads, which offers http on uploading sites. But hey, he offers the same thing plus downloads to anime (and jdrama too i think.. was gonna search, but got lazy..). So for 10$ per month, no need to search all over, go to different channels (which I know you already don't have to for manga releases thanks to lurk), wishing there are seeders left if you haven't dled it when it came out, etc.

So, basically, his concept is to make what you want available when you want it. Which is something most people want. He's giving out this accessibility. However, this accessibility comes with the 10$ per month price. If they rather pay it, who cares right? And I don't think this is to be called as "stupid".

The main thing I don't like about his concept (which is more than likely linked to his person) is that he's not respecting the groups that he's "stealing" from without giving proper credits and more highly probable without their consents. He's not giving back to the groups he took the things from. If he was to give back a certain percentage of the money by donation, it would more acceptable. If his intentions would have stayed to make releases more easily available to the people and not be making profit out of it, it would be okay. But instead, he goes buy himself (for his personal use) expensive electronics with the money (as I heard)...

I guess you could compare this to big coffee companies, paying pennies to the people working in the coffee plants field, but we ain't receiving anything, even pennies. :/

Yeah... long post, just my thoughts.... bet no one is gonna read it anyways.. <_<

And ares6, do you know which province he is from in Canada? If you can get his real name, it would be possible to call up the some provincial attorney association or something to see if he's a member there.
