Yes they can, and the difference is THEY can afford the legal costs and YOU can't. Under current international copyright law, the US is obliged to uphold the copyright of other countries and vice-versa. Yes, you should find this completely retarded.

Because they don't want to. Same with hosting the server in US because "it can't be moved! Too hard!"

Say, when the 14th volume of Date of Live is out, will the anon that had posted those summaries/dialgoes back with the 12th and 13th one will continue on here? If so, do you think he or she could work on the April 9 story from the Volume 0?

Translation are derivative work. Therefore are original works and translators have right over this translation.


Why did they take down the translations? The copyright claim has no legal backing.

>>134899029
That's like fucking everything. Jesus Christ.

>>134899029
Half of those were already fucking downed because of licenses anyway, what the actual fuck Kadokawa.

This is why you do not centralize shit like this holy fuck.

Fansubs were never centralized (doesn't matter now since CR subs everything), manga has never been centralized, and VNs weren't either.

Yet here we have LNs and their translators all grouped up in one site so of course its easy picking for a DMCA holy fuck.

Lesson learned for these guys I hope.

>>134898933
God I hope so. At the very least Part 1 (vol.1-12) has to be completed. So many fans would kill to see how it all ends before "that" happens.

>>134898401
>>134898311
Good visual novel translators are pretty much top-tier, since they come from 4chan or other fan-circles and have the right mindset for the material.

A DMCA isn't a threat that you will be punished to the full extent of the law if you don't comply, it's a threat that you will have to pay legal fees if you don't comply.

Technically speaking, you could win a DMCA claim in court, but the proper corporate approach is to simply stall the legal process for as long as possible, knowing that you, an individual or small business, are paying expensive legals fees that you can't afford but that they can (their legal team is already on their payroll, after all). For a hobbyist website like most translation hosts and aggregators, defending your rights in court is simply not economically feasible. You have nothing to gain from it and sink a lot of money into the process.

That's the point of a DMCA claim. It's civil court abuse used to bully small claimants into compliance because the alternative -defending their rights - is too expensive.

Could somebody explain to me why hosting something in another continent seems to be so hard for these people?

Is it more expensive or something? I mean, all server work is done remotely right? Whats the difference?

>Looks like this time it's Kadokawa's turn to send DMCA, and it's a doozy. There are so many series listed that I think the jig is pretty much up. The server will need to be move from US if B-T wants to survive.
>If this is the case I don't think I can continue to pay for the server anymore (as outright copyright infringement conflicts with my job). We will need to find a person to take over the operation. The server requirement shouldn't be that expensive. $20/month would suffice, I believe.

He said he'll get back into translation and he's working on volume 10's epilogue. No idea if he'll work on volume 11. It'll depend if the other TL will work on it or not.

>>134899828
From that list I have:
>>Ookami to Koushinryou (full)
>>mondaiji (1-9)
>>mahouka (1-13)
>> Itsuka tenma (1-4)
>>Mokushiroku alice (1-3)

>>134899865
They're probably gonna be on madokami for the foreseeable future. Fuck if I know if the translator will continue though. I was planning to learn moon anyways.

Where can we get raws? Are they text files or image files? Think about just make yukari read them for me

>>134899819

>>134900050
That is almost completed right?

>>134900072
they are very shitty though... Better wait and see if someone else have a better one

Ok. Some should get the hosting license and move the servers to somewhere copyright is not shit like China. Also putting the ip address and anything to a private server.

>>134900007
If I was going to read an LN, it certainly wouldn't be in English.

>>134899565
So this guy has who it hasn't even been two seconds for dropped his balls and sucks Kadokawa's DMCAing cock just because he works in an industry where he wants to keep his moral and occupational compass.
Why is it always like this? You'd think people would understand what they're getting in to when they do something like that.

Also he's just shat on like four five years of progress of the translators by not even asking their permission and just nuking their work without a second consideration.

This is why circlejerking cartel-like communities are the worst.

>>134899388
Anon it's obvious you made up all of this. You watch anime AND read VN but don't read manga or LN? That's not possible faggot.

>>134899565
>The server will need to be move from US if B-T wants to survive.

That is what everyone told this stupid fuck when BT was first created but he just plugged his ears went Nah Nah Nah I can't hear you.

>>134898094
This isn't about official translations. This is the JP company telling BT to remove all language translations, even the non english ones, of these series. This DMCA would be understandable if it was an western company doing it because they were licensing shit but that's not the case here.

>>134899565
Some swede will pick up the slack. I'm sure they have a back up of everything.
If they don't the Waybackmachine pretty much has most of the site logged. Nothing of value is lost or will be lost.

Fuck this gay earth.

If only Blue were still here...

>>134900608
They're well within their rights, and nothing of any potential value is lost.

Back when fansubbing was a thing, you could at least make the case that foreign consumers might be buying merchandise. For LNs, all they could possibly do is buy the books, which they won't due to shipping costs and the fact they can't fucking read them.

Negative PR with a group who has no real intention of enjoying your product legally means nothing.

>>134897952
Which part of "baka" did you not understand?

>>134900691
Full text is still there! Get it while you can and upload it elsewhere!

>>134900852
Fuck you.

>>134900852
It's still dumb as fuck though because fan translations don't hurt them at all. It's just straight up a waste of time to bother with them.

>>134892991
Why DONT u just read RAW?

>>134900928
No, fuck you. Learn Japanese and stop reading absolute garbage.

>>134900938
It hurts the legitimacy of the work. Imagine if the only way someone could watch a movie was a version where the movie had been dubbed into Chinese, and then re-translated back into English. I wouldn't want trash like that sitting around out there, on a major site for years, without doing anything about it.

If you're sharing your shit through dozens of decentralised blogs and torrents, that's one thing. Having a major site dedicated to blatant piracy is quite another.

>>134901032
>This LN is garbage!
>You're hurting its legitimacy!

I can feel the hook from here.

>>134896453
Krytyk is doing just fine though.

>>134901032
Your analogy is garbage. This is a JP company removing fan translations for shit that isn't getting licensed to be sold overseas. Their main market is their own country consumers and those consumers pretty much only buy shit when it either comes out or if the series in question gets an anime. Multiple year old series don't sell anymore.

>>134901032

>>134901120
It doesn't matter. The work is JP only.

If you want to read it, learn Japanese. Fan translations are bad at the best of times, they become dozens of times worse in a novel format.

>>134901032
If that was the only way people could watch said movie, it makes no sense to remove it just because it hurts the "legitimacy."

>I wouldn't want trash like that sitting around out there, on a major site for years, without doing anything about it
If you owned an IP but refused to have it officially translated into a particular language, and fans who knew that language but not yours were forced to rely on bad and unreliable translations, would you really go and remove those translations without making any steps to fix the original problem?

I can only assume that the faggot that runs B-T will move servers now. The titles they just lost are a major part of their traffic and popularity. If they sit on their ass and do nothing B-T is basically dead now.

Mangagamer's official translators are confirmed to be horrible redditors who think it is funny to make sex scenes as humorous as possible with their jokes even though the customer doesn't want that shit at all and isn't paying to read someone's shitty sense of humor.

This is for the best. BT had some of the most retarded polices and practices. An entire website run by moralfaggotry of the worst kind. If any translator gives two shits about what they were doing they will just continue to translate their series and host the translation on some other website, maybe even a new LN community will spring up.

>>134899385

I think around 70 reports is the daily quota of reports you could make for 4chan. No specific number was ever given.

Before captcha was permanently implemented, we had the ability to make as much reports as we want but moot started restricting 4chan.

Captcha-free 4chan was truly real time back then.

If they can't have your money they want to exclude you from ever being able to experience the product, even if the reason they can't have your money is because they deem it too risky to branch LNs into the west. That is what corporations do.

Man, if this shit goes down for real that Japan just shuts off the spigot, I'm probably going to end up stopping buying Japanese stuff. Ain't no way I'm buying stuff I don't know what the content of it is.

Now that every publisher see's just how easily BT bends over they'll be DMCA to death. Neat.

This is why I'm voting for trump. No damn japs will be placing DMCAs when he's in charge.

>>134903280
That's the reason it happened in the first place, they removed Campione which had around 20 vols translated at the drop of a hat just because DMCA said so and now wham, good quarter to third of the site was nuked, and also at the drop of a hat, just blind compliance.
