>>
>>133681933
Serves them right. They were incredibly retarded for posting those ahead of the release date and I bet that's the only reason why they were caught. If they got their raws and quietly scanlated them then waited for the publish date to release, no one would know they were getting them beforehand. Because they were releasing a fucking week or even earlier before it goes on sale of course publishers figured they had to be bribing someone before the magazines hit the stores. What a bunch of idiots.

They release NnT two days ahead. Two days. And of course it's kind of stupid, but every group wants to be the first because of e-peen and cashgrab.

>>133682215
they release Jump 5 days ahead

>>133682301
Yeah, but I was talking about 7DS.
>>
Was that really 10th Mystery? Was that the only source of early raws in the entire scene?
>>
>>133682164
Agreed, it makes almost no sense to rush to publish early. If they switched to publishing after its release in japan, there would be one week of waiting, and then weekly releases again. It's just stupid to risk 5-8 years in jail because people wanted their cartoons a couple days sooner.
>>
>>133682215
>every group wants to be the first because of e-peen and cashgrab
And that's why I don't feel sorry for them. They deserve every day they spend in jail for making money out of shit releases and spoiling every single chapter with those terrible chink and gook scanlations.
>>
>>133681933
it's the raw provider of Red hawk scan?
>>
>>133682357
This was a chink who provided shit quality scans so probably not.
>>
>>133682467
I know for sure it's the same as IS and the chinese and korean groups. They sold raws to a lot of groups.
>>
>>133682467
We don't know yet. The only thing we know is that they were the raw provider of a english group which can be either Redhawk or MS, but MS raw provider seems to be topdog(s), so it's probably RH's provider.

The group I work with has gotten scared by several recent events and decided to quietly suspend releases until things settle down. Releasing has always been the most unnecessary step of the whole scanlating process. It's not like we get anything out of it other than the gratitude of strangers. Anyone who cares enough about our projects to be willing to put work into them is already part of the group and will continue benefiting from their own work so there's not much internal sympathy for passive leechers.

It's still sad that it's come to this.
>>
>>133684531
>website works again
It's something I guess.
>>
>>133684614
Which group?
>>
I'm probably going to cut back on how many things I work on. There were a couple series I wanted to pick up, but I think it's better to just focus on finishing stuff and ease out for now.
>>
>>133684614
It's not sad at all. If you're not stupid enough to release before the day it goes for sale you're fine. The only ones who should be afraid are the raw providers which is why I don't scan anymore. Buy it you ungrateful fucks.
>>
>>133684614
Same, they're really cracking down, but honestly it's just the sites that release already licensed manga days ahead of the Japanese.
Still playing it safe, I honestly don't want to gain much attention from Japan.
I've heard that even if it isn't licensed, the original copyright holder, basically the companies from Japan, can still DMCA you, that true?

Become a scanner and produce raws for scanlators who need them. I'm still waiting for someone to make good use of my raws.
>>
>>133686195
I used to scan stuff for myself and a few other groups, now I mostly just use ebooks to save time cleaning.
What series?
>>
>>133686113
Typical clueless newfag perspective. Thinks that translating is the only role that matters. The few times that I've scanlated stuff solo, I've probably spent about 10% of the total work time on translating. It's the role with the highest barrier for entry but requires the least amount of actual work.
>>
>>133686389
Gakkou Gurashi.

Back when the anime was airing there were a few people who said they wanted to translate the newer manga chapters but there was a lack of raws and they had to resort to typesetting and translating from shitty Korean-translated scans. I started importing and scanning the recent chapters for that reason but now the main translator (deel) seems to be dead and nobody is translating it except Waterflame and their translations are godawful and they didn't even use my raw for the latest chapter.
>>
Dear cleaners, how do you even do your job? How do you turn gray shit into clean white stuff?
>>
>>133686564
I know the feeling. I've got raws for a few things that would probably get translated, but I don't want to spend the time scanning unless I know for sure that someone is going to do it and do it well.

Anyone interested in picking up Bakuon Rettou for typesetting and I think cleaning? The anon working on it dropped it after 3 chapters but the translator is still working on it. It's a story about growing up, classic motorcycle gangs, Bosozoku, delinquents and what not. It's really good.

>>133693222
If the translator's willing to manage the project and our editors are interested in the series. I wouldn't say we just pick up anything; it's gotta be interesting enough.

I thought about asking around to see if there were any anons who like giving orders and making sure people get stuff done, because I haven't been able to manage our translation projects recently, and pretty much everything is suffering because I'm not around that much.

One day, this group will rule over the world of scanlation. Sceencap this.

>>133694189
Redrawing is retarded anyway. As a manga reader and collector fuck you for modifying the mangaka work. Just make a note if you have to modify the original art so much.
>>
>>133694242
Honestly, if any of my series get licensed, if the translator is willing, i'm going here.
>>
Friendly reminder that if your fellow chink living in Japan is giving you scans at the great risk of his own persons, you shouldn't upload the scans straight to your site so that the authorities can just easily finger your group.

I thought Chinese were renowned for being careful because of the Great Firewall of China. Let this be a lesson to future aspiring scanners to always use a proxy, and that epeen fags who release a week ahead of street date will get nailed.
>>
>>133694318
I'd probably just drop anything if it gets licensed. Worked for me in the past, should be even more important with everything that's going on.
>>
>>133694298
Honestly, if you're a collector, you'd have hard copies anyways, and why not just download the RAW (or buy the ebook version) if you wanted it in a digital format.

If notes were left for everything, you'd probably be complaining anyways.
>>
>>133694298
I somewhat agree with you but how are you supposed to make a note of a whole paragraph? You can't fit it anywhere other than on top. Fuck redrawing thought, rather the translation on top with a white smudge, fade, outline or whatever to cover up the original text.

At this point I think we're working on just making sure we're getting caught up with the stuff we already have and getting our shit together.

Once that's done we'll have more time to think about picking something up. I already had something in mind for what I wanted to do, but I don't think I'll get to it for a good three months at this rate. Grad school's really been killing me. 3500 character novel translation due tomorrow. /blog

>>133694580
Well, if it's SFX we're talking about, I tend to leave them alone if the mangaka likes writing SFX that has their own artistic quality applied to it (hand-drawn with ink brushes, etc.).

If it's generally something that looks like it's just scribbled on (more prevalent in webmanga as due to the pipeline, SFX are often an afterthought), I'll clean it off and replace it.

The page in question has blocks of text, narration I'm assuming, so cleaning it off is probably the better choice in this situation.

So, I agree with you partially, but even letterers working for publishers do have to clean and be forced to redraw non-SFX blocks of text if they're not given the clean pages to work with.

Also, good to hear someone actually buys manga.

Might be, never lurked the threads, but OPM is cancer nonetheless, it's the typical manga that people who normally don't read manga read, and it shows in the threads.
Unbearable.
>>
>>133695028
>>133695029
I've never watched the show, but I don't think the RWBY manga is cancerous at all. Judging by complaints, on the chance the adaption of the source turns out to be higher quality is pretty high.

What I do think is cancerous is all the falseflaggers and shit general threads people keep making for it.

I'd assume they're over it scare-wise, they got caught for being fucking retarded.
>>
>>133697382
I'm not worried; the arrest was for idiots uploading shit before it'd been released in Japan. I think that was the bigger issue for the publishers, the fact that these big shonen series were being made public before the release date, and copies were being stolen from pallets and deliveries meant for bookstores.

I'm sure the piracy just came as part of that. It's not going to stop everyone else doing smaller series or series way after they're published.

To anon who is making the ripper tool
I just want to give you guys a warning not to keep posting your tool on jcafe because one foggot has spread the info of the tools for major ebook stores in Japan on Harukayume no ato (the biggest forum of a pirated Japanese raws) and on 2ch.
Harukayume no ato is a marked forum by Japanese Government specially.
Of course, it's up to you guys whether keep using on jcafe or not. It's better to be back to here, make the IRC channel, or use the Onion forum.

Thanks for the warning but I have no idea where to post that kind of thing to stay safe and let people know it's out at the same time. Still, I don't think there's much they can do because I don't live in Japan or USA.
>>
>>133723958
I think the problem is really that if they know how people are ripping it, they'll be able to change their security to block it.

Take down the current one to prevent Japan to get their hands on it or at least limit it. Change the ripper name to something that gives thousands of inconclusive results in google. Use ghost to post fixes and updates. Delete your ghost posts after some hours to prevent google cache. I think it's the best way to prevent it from spreading while keeping us who use it discretely up to date.

Last resort, Deep web.
>>
>>133723995
>>133724296
It doesn't matter if the tool is out in public, once they find out someone has the ability to rip their content, they're going to change the protection, assuming they even care or are able to do it. Most stores use readers developed by some third party companies so they don't have their own developers to make any significant changes. It's more likely a minor unrelated update is going to break things.
>>
>>133707362
Sorta related, but is there a place that reliably scans magazines like these? There are a lot of sites that provide chapters or volumes, but the obscure things are often in magazines and don't get scanned individually.
>>
>>133723958
How about AlphaBay Market (deep web site)?
>>
>>133724415
Depends almost completely on what magazine you're looking for. If you can find someone who scans something from that, you can usually ask them to scan whatever it is you're looking for, but a lot of the time there isn't a centralized repository so I usually just look for groups that do series in the same magazine.

>>133724414

find a couple of people that are interested in possibly collaborating with you and feel the same way about the work as you (assuming you care because you finished the anthology yourself.) knowing that you're not alone can help motivate you to do the work. also, there's always the chance to ask them to help you with it.

Emulating Android. You'd need to install a patched Kindle apk, download the book, open it, view the decryption code, copy the book files over and then run a Kindle decryption tool over it.

Damn that sounds too complicated for an idiot like me. If I get a real android, can I just plug it to a pc and copy the file?

They're filled with Japanese.
That already makes them better than most jails in the West where you'd have to survive Dishauns or Rasheeds depending on which side of the puddle you live in.

Comparatively they do. The downside is having to deal with prisons that enjoy the control this gets them, but there is a measure of freedom missing in the Japanese prison system that's found in American prisons. Of course I'd rather join Brevik, then deal with either.

Tagging this again in sheer desperation.
I don't want to have to put something I was working on halfway on an indefinite hiatus because of archive fuckery (and my idiocy).
>>
>>133743734

I'm guessing you need the images?
>>
>>133744097
No, I need the text.

I thought I had saved the thread twice, once for just a general back up, and upon discovering I didn't, once from googlecache after archive.moe died.

Apparently I made neither.

I have all the RAW pages that I had translations for.

Is this all of it?

Well, that actually looks like that's it.
Damn.
Somehow amazed I never found this until now, probably because I was googling the entire URL and not the actual thread ID.
I'm an idiot. Thanks.

My sides.

After resizing the lines aren't looking as smooth as I'd want them to be. Is there a way to prevent that?

>Entire chapter has all the text outside of speech bubbles and over complex backgrounds

Do you ever feel like the author is out to get you? That he's doing this shit on purpose?

Always.

I think the fastest way to kill scanlation isn't to arrest people, but to make the chapters impossible to redraw.

This was fun. Let's do this again.

What was that manga with all bubbles being transparent again? That guy's probably laughing as we speak. Bet if you focus hard enough you could hear his laughter coming all the way from Japan.

Lewd commissions are where the money is, got about $600 in a few months so far. Donations get a little though, got maybe $150~ or so since July but seems to have been only because I did two chapters of that re:monster schwarbage.
>>
where's a good place to look for raws of brand new series? I want to pick up something maybe but everything good already has someone on it.
>>
>>133750173
that's when you just start putting stuff in white boxes.

>translating the introduction page
If you read the manga you know who the characters are you imbecile, that's for retards that picked it up halfway.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
