DMCA Once Again

I hope someone made pdf or epub files.

Fuck YenPress.

Happy new year guys. What a nice gift. ;_;

Thank you dmca for saving us from this trash.

Good, maybe now they'll focus on Altina more.

Yen press ruins everything, yet again.

>>135719895
Why is Sky wasting with Genocide shit instead of translating Youjo Senki? Like seriously what would you guys prefer Youjo or Genocide (or any other project)? I'm curious.

>>135719341

This, where are the epub/pdfs?

Does Yen Press literally have nothing better to do?
They have shit load of lns on back log, and yet they pick it up, just cause it seems to be the flavor of the month.
Why do they try to ruin our lives so?

Youjo obviously, but unfortunately sky only hosts Youjo they don't TL it, the original guy who translated overlord is casually TL'ing it.

Youjo is a monstrosity to TL too from what I hear, with a single novel that is the size of 3 regular volumes.

kinda wish Sky and ghostaker would talk to us a bit about it 2bh

>>135720201
>Why do they try to ruin our lives so?
because they are literally no fun jews incarnate.

reminder S&W stil isn't fully translated by YP even though the series has been finished for years.

>>135720016
Blame overlord fags.

They voted for Genocide shit just because its name sounded edgy.

Instead they got pure shit. Fuck overlord fags.

They sucked Korean shit only because the title was edgy enough for their underaged selves.

This can't continue. We need to do something.

>>135719657
No Us company has licensed it. This was taken down for reasons unknown.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>135720201
THIS. Yen Press doesn't have unlimited translators yet they keep licensing everything left and right, bloating their backlog every fucking month.

It is like they are asking to be bankrupt soon.

>>135720146
Sekrit club has pdf's up until volume 4.

>>135720202
>the original guy who translated overlord is casually TL'ing it.

Ghostaker was the original Overlord translator? First I ever saw that mentioned. Is Nigel still working on Overlord?

>>135720202
I know Nigel is still translating Overlord (thank fucking god) but he has to go underground due to Jewpress, coudn't Sky help ghostaker with Youjo since it's not licensed?

>>135720016
I don't get why they voted for that shit. Youjo Seenki was so much better than all those shitty projects.

>>135719341
>>135719341
i guess no more adventures for the idiot quartet ;_;

>>135720270
I'm a fucking fag for Overlord but I did not vote for Genoshit man I voted for Youjo.

>>135720331

>>135720277
Could it be a Bot that spammed DMCA requests only because the title Gifting was connected to another unrelated property?

>DEEN
>DMCA
it sucks to be a reader of this now

>>135720427
Could be.

Is it even licensed? I don't find anything about it being licensed by YP. It might just be some auto DMCA with how CR has the anime or something? I wouldn't know though.

>Kazuma Satou is a shut in who loves game, his life ended suddenly... Appearing before him is a beautiful girl claiming to be a goddess. Kazuma who was transported to a different world worked hard to earn a living! Kazuma wanted to live a stable life, but was burdened with problems caused by the goddess he brought along to the different world with him. He was even targeted by the demon king's army!?

Sounds like absolute trash. Nothing of value was lost.

>>135720331
>Ghostaker was the original Overlord translator?
he was involved in some way before he disappeared for a bit.

>>135720334
>coudn't Sky help ghostaker with Youjo since it's not licensed?
rumor has it Sky is TL'ing a few chapters while ghost is doing a few, but that's a rumor I've seen on another forum.

>>135719341
looks like anothet DMCA bot case

since im pretty sure that it wasnt even licensed yet

>>135720427
Why the fuck would someone use to spam DMCA's for no reason.

I think it's just some bot DMCA considering other volumes are still readible.

>>135719341
Fuck. FUCK.

Someone please give me the latest archive. I only got up to volume 5.

>>135720546
And why coincidentally for a LN which will air soon?

Pretty sure this is published by Kadokawa, so probably just a continuation of the BT DMCA.

>>135720529
>he was involved in some way before he disappeared for a bit.
You think he'd help Nigel with the underground translations of Overlord or is that to much with him translating Youjo and all that?

probably, like I've said earlier. Youjo is massive, and I don't even know Nigel or Ghostaker personally so I can't speak for them or even predict their actions.

Here's the thread I was talking about.

Just you wait. It'll be announced in a few hours.

Didn't date a live and mondaiji get removed recently as well? What is happening?

>>135720938
Kadokawa is full of straight up dicks, that's what.

>>135720938
Bakatsuki got hit with a big one recently that wiped out like 80% of their decent series. I can only assume that this is just a ripple off of that.

>>135720201
>Why do they try to ruin our lives so?

because jews hate you for being a goy. they feel entitled to your money and buy licenses from desperate nips because they think they should get free sheckles for someone else's work. jews have been 'oppressed' for thousands of years a for a reason, you know?

>>135719341
They'll never stop it. Pirating is too entrenched a practice among the under 30 crowd. They can push it further underground, but the community will always find ways to share.

Seems like the only novel Kadokawa has missed so far is Shinmai Maou. Brace yourselves.

All this could have been avoided if you stopping getting servers from the US/UK and other Amerifriend countries.

>>135720524
the description has nothing to do with a the series. Gifting is basically a deconstruction of the light novel genre and is a self-parody.

Because TPP passed and there's absolutely no repercussions. It's like ad or clickbait money for lawyers.

>>135721258
This goes back to my comment from another thread where I said many people doing translations want people to shower then with praise and attention, and as soon as they have to go underground and don't get it anymore on their little websites they stop.

>>135721297
And so is mondaiji. They were removed because they're shit.

Hell, pirating helps them but they don't think so because they don't get money from one person reading the pirated copy.

If a lot of libraries had at least one copy of a manga, I'm mildly convinced it would outsell fans alone for some series, especially the smaller publishers.

>>135721632
A trivial fee, and only if the book is published by a company big enough for them to give a shit about it. You think libraries had to pay fees for every book they had 50 years ago? Get real the internet wasn't even around properly.

I don't know why the fuck is Sky still using blogspot when he could get a webpage in a country that doesn't give a fuck about DMCAs, his page is one of the bigger ones, he could even go full wuxiaworld and start absorbing little translators and put donation goals for each project.

>>135721632

You mean the library card fee? Or have they changed it to per borrow basis in the last decade?

Honestly this is a non-issue but retard gonna retard.

>>135721489
The empire is bizarro magic germany though. Where did you find those spoilers?

>>135721819
Come on now, Wuxiaworld only gets away with it because they only do Chinese web novels.

>>135721884
Look it up in the archive. It was a thread. The animesuki spoilers doesn't go that far but nothing in the /a/ spoilers seems to contradict the animesuki ones, which has Ghostaker participating in it.

Could just be some clever shitter trying to ruse though, but no one in the thread itself called him out on it. That's why I'm asking.

>not just learning japanese
What are you guys doing?

>>135722006
Learning Chinese.

>>135721632
>Libraries actually do pay a fee to use the books.
Is this the thing in the new age? My god. In my time borrowing library books are free and overtime is a trivial fee. You can even go to our library and ask for an extension on the same day it will be labeled overdue.

>>135721988
I think the key words here are WEB NOVEL.
Without a publisher to shell out cash for lawyers, this shit doesn't happen.

>>135722006
Busy as a corporate wage slave.

>>135722042
Seriously, it's no wonder kids growing up today think it's okay to pay for everything. In 50 years it'll cost $2.50 per use at a public restroom at a mall you just fucking wait. Then once overpopulation kicks in real good and pollution fucks up the earth just breathing air will be a commodity.

>>135722077
Same as the above.

>>135722006
Man, I started learning it but it'll take time, a lot of time.

Kek what shit hole has such a thing in place already? I need to know in case I decide to travel there.

>>135722005
I can't find anything about it being a WN at all. I think that Anon was pulling a ruse or maybe the ending to the LN will be different like so many are.

dunno, we'll see eventually.

>>135722006
Why would I learn japanese when there already are people passionate about translating stuff? I'm not even interested in anything japanese beyond anime and manga, and the occasional LN of course.

>>135722191
This wasn't a thing until like the last 20 years or something. There was no way to possibly track most books/publishers etc back then, and people donated books to libraries because a library was more of a community thing meant to retain knowledge and keep it safe. Kinda like the internet 10 years ago.

>>135722416
yeah, it was pretty fucked up. I mean it's only like 200 yen for like 10 baby wipes, but still. This is why I carry toilet paper in my backpack now.

>>135722332
Bottled air is pretty popular in Beijing. Tour guides have started to give them out to tourists because of the popularity.

>>135722212
A few malls, gasoline stations, fastfood joints and a bunch of places you'd never expect in the failippines.
It wouldn't be so bad if the 'staff' kept it clean but unfortunately it isn't. The worst part is that you'll see some smeared shit on the toilet shit and in some cases splattered on the wall.

Fuck how long till Gate is gonna be Licensed?

2016 will surely be another shit year

>>135722537
The only time I've ever seen smeared/splattered shit on walls and stuff in public was when I was taking a flight and some mainland chink apparently thought the airplane toilet flush was just as weak as his shithole at home, and stuffed the dirty wiped paper in the baby box cause he didn't know what it was.

But thanks to that traumatizing experience, I can kinda understand how it could happen in Philippines.

>>135722584

>>135722854

Is the Western light novel community large enough to sustain all these fucking licenses?
Or are the licenses actually just that cheap?

Great, what's next.
Zashki Warashi?
Vanadis?
Leviathan?
Rokujouma?

>>135722862
yeah, but since baka-tsuki rolled over like a bitch, there's a potential to open the flood gates.

I can't wait until raildex is purged

>>135722910
none of those are good LN's, especially vanadis

>>135722910

Why would they license that bag of shit?

>>135723018
>This anon actually reads all those trash series

Bet you pick up all of LN that's adapted every season

>>135723345
Same reason they bothered licensing a cocktail of shit before it.

>>135723345
Ask fucking Yen Press.

>>135722906
They probably sell licenses to bigger companies like YP just for the sake of nipping fan translations when it's ripe cause of their jewish ways of exploiting their free advertisement. From the stand point of Kadokawa, you aren't losing out on much by throwing licenses away cheaply because overseas was never a market you could tap without a localizer anyway so they have to suck it up and let YP profit first in hopes of establishing a foothold internationally later.

I hope Altina isn't the next. I need my dose of female Hector.

>>135722906
its like the vidya community

In theory he was. After all to the companies like Kadokawa there's a simple line of reasoning.

If they can't even protect their porn, how could they possibly protect their novels?

I always wondered how /a/ would respond if Jeff Bezos bought these shitty LN IPs and posted them on the kindle unlimited.

>>135723463

>>135723599
A lot of web novel authors go to Overlap compared to Kadokawa.

However, Gate's publisher, AlphaPolis is a major faggot since they force web novel authors to basically delete their web novel once they go legit.

Kadokawa lets web novels stay up so far and so does Overlap but AlphaPolis forces authors to remove their web novels or convert the page into just light novel teaser samples.

>>135723786
Chinks aren't safe either. Chinks had to remove some of their stuff too.

>>135723681
>>135723686

He would need to shell out more than it's worth, the value in it isn't the license itself, it's the precedence. With YP, Kadokawa remains in control and YP basically has to buy licenses to retain that discount and lick Kadokawa's boots.

So would Kadokawa be willing to work with someone in a superior position? That's the real question.

>>135719341
Please don't greentext links.

>>135723704
Honestly this.

There's no fucking reason why fan translators shouldn't use the same method that youtube clone pirating sites use. Put up a dozen copies on a dozen sites and have each of those sites be deliberately uncooperative with attempts to remove content, but officially all you need to do is just report infringement.

That's a good point Jap stubbornness is pretty bad from kodakawa.Though it seems to me kodakawa isn't actually making much off yen press considering how bad their back log is. Honestly, though I'd be happy if amazon ended up with the LNs, at least they would be released on a competent time table.

They've been after the scanlattors and fan subbers for years. The problem is going after the LN translators is pretty new, and LN translators haven't learned to keep their servers in 3rd world places no one gives a shit about.

>>135724258
Hakomari is completed and fully translated though

>>135724314
It also doesn't matter because no one cares about it.

Option 1:
Host on Russian/Chink server

Option 2:
Host on your own server

Option 3:
Upload everything to madokami or IRC personally.

Options are nice, too bad translators are too retarded to figure that out.

>>135724118
Yeah but what >>135724158 says combined with my point of a long-term strategy of gaining a foothold internationally is all it takes. They aren't in it for the short-term. It's the long term, 10-20+ years from now. Anime didn't blow up overseas overnight you know? Even Hong Kong, the king of bootleg, didn't just suddenly explode in anime when they started copying tapes and laserdisks.

The chink who dubs Char Aznable is so famous even Shūichi Ikeda chilled with him during a con and they practically sucked each others dicks praising each other. I don't think it's gotten to that point in the west yet.

I don't even know how much profits nips can possibly make off Murican readers.

I mean, when I walk into book-off in Akihabara, I can buy second hand copies of LNs for all of 400 yen. They look as good as new, and none of that goes to the publishers.

There's no pretending here from anybody but you retard. You're the one who doesn't realize his taste is just as shit and acts like it's 3-star.

But I digress, admitting you are a certified handicap takes a lot of heart, especially when it involves your brain.

And then finally, manga.

People need to recognize that literature is an art and not a science, therefore stuff like prose and characterization is much more flexible than one would be led to believe as long as you keep an open mind. This goes double once you include cultural and language differences.

Always love how those publishing companies shoot themselves in the foot. Considering we would have never heard of this series if it wasn't for the fan-translations. It's how you bloody spark interest in it in the first place.

If they can get the idea that fan-translations don't result in loss sales, and get their heads out of their asses that'd be nice.

Hol up I don't get it. Why would the authorities hand out DMCAs for English translations of a light novel that will in all likelihood NEVER EVER be licensed, translated, and published officially for overseas audiences? Isn't it better to let fan translations roam and bring in those who were interested to begin with?

Nice job equating two entirely different things dumbass. People in /v/ pirate their shit because they don't want to pay for something. They have the means to get the product themselves but don't do so for a variety of reasons, but mostly because they want it for free.

People here rely on fan-translations because the possibility of localization and legal purchase is pretty fucking low. There is no other way to get the product, no choice in the matter.

And before you say "Learn moon" like the retard you are, how about understanding that learning another language is a time sink that people with actual lives can't do.

If I recall correctly Blogspot uses an automated service, so if reuploaded in a way not to trigger the bots it should be fine.

But yeah, Baka-Tsuki was given the full one treatment by Kadokawa (even for series long dead stupidly enough). Seems like Japan's heavy handed response is bleeding into the Light Novel scene too.

Even though English fan-translations don't result in loss sales for them, they still do this mostly out of arrogance. They like to blame all their sales issues on pirates rather than themselves.

>>135728064

This. They think that their target customers/consumers, who actually knows Japanese btw, would prefer to read english translations, even though only 1 out of every 20 Japanese can read english, because it's free.

I blame US for this: they nuked Japan stupid, now they are teaching Japan to be more stupid, via TPP.

Riddle me this, /a/

If the pirate-hunting and DMCA bombardment intensifies, would groups and translators be able to find refuge here and continue their work? As in, they go analog by posting blocks of text or post Pastebin links. I don't think corporate would have the time or patience to comb through a foreign imageboard and trace anonymous individuals.

Their main problem is that they're fucking slow and probably even stops translating sometimes.

>>135729413
>Lots of poor asian countries can speak english fluently too anon.
Yeah, like Indonesia, Thailand and others, right? They fucking are the reason we have so much badly translated shit everywhere.

Do people even buy/read official translations for light novels? Are they profitable? I mean they go for manga because the art is still there, but LNs are generally written very poorly and I'm sure "anime fans" can't be bothered to read those.

>>135729503
Singaporeans are the ones who translate shit from Japan in a ghetto way despite being rich because they do JP -> CHN -> ENG translations, not those countries. They only read (Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines). Sky himself is Singaporean I think.

I'm buying the S&W of Yenpress.

>>135729546
I buy them off amazon, but that's only because I'm looking for them.

Yen Press wants to appeal to a general audience rather than solely the ones interested in Anime/Manga. So they don't bother putting in places where people who would actually buy it would look.

I remember looking for the Haruhi novels in Barnes & Noble, couldn't find it in the manga section like I expected it to be. Found it tucked in a small corner of the "Young Teens" instead. Like anybody actually bloody goes there.

>>135729546
I do buy it if I manage to find them in the bookstore. The total amount of people buying it probably isn't that much, but in Japan itself 5k sales is already enough to break even

>>135729958
>Problem Solved
Or make it several times worse, the notification is based on a bot, hence why it isn't an actual DMCA notice.

However sending a counter notification means an actual person may look into the content of his site. Then, if the person is a jackass (which they mostly are) they will flag the entire site for copy-right violations.

Not to mention it can up the level to "willful infringement", rather than the assumed accidental stance.

>>135729263
I've heard terrible things about their NGNL translation.

>>135729472
>probably even stops translating sometimes.

They actually haven't, they're just slow.

So many people telling sky to just drop it on the comments. If you happen to be browsing /a/ sky please no. There are alternatives. Even just hosting them off of the site.

>>135729546
The thing with yen press there is no guarantee they'll even complete the series. So for example Overlord is really popular now and you buy novels 1 -4. But come 2 years later the popularity starts to wane so YP dumps overlord and picks a new LN to publish. And you are left with 4 Overlord novels with no conclusion.

>>135730092
>They actually haven't, they're just slow.
Doesn't help that they keep grabbing series before releasing ones they already owned.

They don't have that many translators to begin with, so taking on so much work is definitely going to result in a loss in quality. They are already screwing up really basic stuff, like printing color pages the wrong way.

I don't know how it is for other series but they release 5 index novels in a year, pretty alright Tbh.

>>135730187
Stop spouting bullshit, they haven't dropped anything an you can say the same thing with fan translators, some may just lose interest and not bother or move on.

>>135730446
Which is terrible because while you like, say, Overlord, once YP sees the fans decrease they will stop translating that.

And you can't even have fan translations because it's licensed by YP. YP is the cancer killing the community's interest.

>>135730293
You do realize that Youtube is an automatic system right? When you send a counter-notification the ones responsible for either the content ID claim, or DMCA is given a period of time to review your dispute. They either release their claim or reinstate it, and it is automatically released if they don't bother reviewing it before the period is over (which happens most of the time) .

It's only in very rare circumstance does an actual person get involved with any claims. Which in a case like Sky's is much more likely to happen.

Let's face it: The commercial market for anime and manga was never meant to fly because it's niche.

Unless they charge $50 or $60 for a volume like in games. $7 - $10 is a pittance.

Where did I ever say that? Blogspot tends to have staff that looks over copyright disputes when there might be a mistake in their automated system. Much like every other site on the bloody internet. Hence why I said "real person", you know since they actually hire people to do that. (Something Youtube can't do because of the sheer number of cases they have to deal with).

Reading comprehension, try it sometime.

Still even if magical real person will exist he can do nothing. Someone should destroy DMCA boogie man. I will create blog and upload some Overlord volumes for DMCA fishing.

I promise I won't show my magic to anyone else. But it's fine to show it to my future wife's servant since they swear they won't tell anyone.

Can you blame a small company that relies heavily on Gate sales to be skimping on money?

>corporate would have the time or patience to comb through a foreign imageboard and trace anonymous individuals.

They can just pay someone to figure out how to automate it. Or go directly after Hiro since ya know he lives in Japan most likely.

Source. It's been over a decade I haven't kept up.

Wait, no, that's the Manga. Novel 17 is out in April.

This is what you faggots get for reading such garbage.

Forcing the author to take down the WN has nothing to do with skimping, it just jews people and fucks over new readers because the hook is much weaker for them.

Plus in the internet age, the gap between a group that has to buy to read and everyone else who depends on free kills discussion, which contrary to people's beliefs, has an impact.

There's a reason anime is broadcasted in Japan for ya know, FREE. There's a reason why Japan has a cultural habit of buying WSJ reading it then leaving them on trains and shit for other people to read instead of having everyone line up at a fucking store and buying some toilet paper quality shit just so they can skip 80% of the magazine just to catch up on the series they follow.

The internet is a library. And TPP fags want to turn it into a book store. The irony is that the anime industry has survived the past decade off that 1-10% minority of otakus aka core fan base instead of the other 90% that usually just reads and watches and rarely pays shit, but now they wanna spread and grab the whole damn market while still maintaining those jew prices that they charge the otakus all while lowering the quality even more than it already is.

Post anime designs.

>DMCA
this is getting noticeable these days

also i like how the oda nobuna translator still continued his translations at a facebook group, putting it in docs.


But in anycase, one of the solutions is to host in a server out of reach by DMCA (russia,sweden,finland, zimbabwe)

Wow so basically for every series you only have to wait for 1 round trip on Gut's boat and you can buy them all! How wonderful!

By the time Overlord hits hits volume 18 on YP everyone here will be retired.

Didn't all of Asia back out of TPP?

Besides, Alphapolis aren't such jews that they take down everything free. You can basically read free chapters of their manga off their site.
