As you said, private sharing is not something that lasts long due to the nature of the internet. I'm personally in the "Spread it to everyone or drop it" camp, keeping the credits and links of course. But I know a lot of people cared enough about this story to keep it private for a long long time and I respect that. It very rarely happens and I wanted this one to succeed just to see if it can. Then one random person decided "f#ck it". So I'm disappointed once again, they almost made it. They could've been "The One". If they were uploaded after it was all translated and the translators washed their hands of responsibility then I'd be in the "f#ck it" camp too. I also feel that the best way to support a story is to buy it or make more people aware of it, not hide it away behind passwords. I'm in a love hate relationship with these sites. I know why they're horrible and hated, but the only reason I know about and have an interest in manga is because of them.
double standard much in the comments? you're all getting angry at the person who uploaded it here against the translator's wish, ignoring that them translating and uploading the now -licensed- manga is illegal.
now you have to actually buy the manga? -actually- support the artist? if you have the chance to support the artist, do it! if you don't care about the artist, you can't complain about the person who uploaded it here lol.
oh, and the 'you have to log in to read and we ask you not to share it' has never worked and i doubt it ever will.
(and to the person talking about hell and karma, get a life ffs)
