Y’all let’s be fr. Pirating manga doesn’t hurt authors lol. Idk if they live in some delusional world where every single “illegal” reader would have bought their work legitimately, bc that’s not what would have happened. I’m all for protecting your intellectual property. If you don’t want it, sure, fight against your work being pirated. All I’m saying is that it is an incredibly stupid decision. I wouldn’t even know about 90% of these comics if not for illegal websites increasing their popularity and visibility. Reading some here that I really enjoyed even led to me giving the authors money to support their work. Do you really think anyone outside of korea would even know about these manhwa if not for these pirating sites? I’ll bet that they would be making less money if not for these sites because nobody would even find out their comics exist otherwise.
