It’s easier said than done. Not everyone can simply leave depending on the contract… I know a bunch of artist who couldn’t apply in the same industry because of their contracts.
As for manhwa artist we don’t know the story rights. How much do you pay a company for breaking contract.. you make it sound simple. Kpop stars burnout overworking because of how crappy the work environment is… why don’t they leave? They are all expandable.. for every cancelled artist is a new sucker willing to work in the system. Hoping to get their art and story out there… We heard how they treated the Roxana artist… you really think it’s easy?
If Piracy does help why are there artist who are being cancelled? Euja is just lucky, but not everyone and that’s the point. We can check studies, but we should acknowledge that piracy also killed a lot of things… because it is still loss revenue. It’s not your money… so it’s understandable that you don’t see the damage.. to you it’s free advertising.
Piracy won’t go away, but we could at least acknowledge why it’s hurting creators. Instead of fighting that this actually helps them… because this only helps us.. but it’s easier to sleep at night when we tell ourselves it’s exposure got a title a good deal with any publisher. Danmei community the illegal translations showed that there is market for BL, but the danmei writers have other sources of income… but the korean artist this might be their only source of income. It’s not an excuse to make death threats… but us expecting grace from someone we stole from that’s just audacious too
Do yall really think her work would be as popular without illegal readers and posters? It's free advertising. And it’s the same thing for a lot of other artists out there too. There is no reason to call anyone names on here or send people threats, like are yall right in the head? Honestly.
