Ripping that CD to get the music back in digital form in a DRM free state is something totally different, especially if you then post it to the internet. Buying a DRM song off of Itunes and then burning it to a CD (i.e. Doing so absolutely will subject you to potential civil liability, and may subject you to criminal as well. Whoever told you otherwise is greatly mistaken. * Removing DRM from a product is not legal if you then make the DRM-free version public. * Putting potential materials on "their own servers to share" is only going to INCREASE the potential legal liabilities, not decrease them. When you are sent a Cease and Desist letter, 999 times in 1000 it is because the originator is threatening CIVIL action, not criminal. * Even assuming that you are safe from the CFAA and other potential criminal penalties, the CIVIL penalties are totally unaddressed here. * The CFAA is almost always about hacking, not merely breaking Terms of Service. Translating itself is derivative, as in we derive the text that goes in bubbles from the original text. Doing "rewrites" is likely safer than translating because it is transformative and can be considered parody. * Translating, even when an original copy is bought, is almost certainly NOT going to be fair use if you make that translation public. I don't know where you found this text dump, but it's dangerously poorly informed.

They also have their own payment processor that allows porn sales. Manga/anime can be bought at their website too. The ones translating "valkeria chronicles" also said that thier translation was free,īut they said that thier translation patch can only be legally used if the one downloading already bought a physical/digital copy.įakku (who's partnered with wani magazine) allows free reading/downloading of translated works, The team that translated "namco x capcom" said on thier website that the translation patch was free but they require that you show them a recipt first. Thier were 2 groups that translated "namco x capcom" and "valkeria cronicles" (these games only got released in japan), Uses his own servers to share what he's translated. So i highly recommend translators/scanners use their own servers to share (that dont have anti porn/copyright policies. Unfortunately, most translation/scanning groups use file sharing websites that a have a policy against porn/copyright material. Removing DRM of a work you bought is also legal (most websites sell DRM free movies). based on what i read, these support my theory):Īccording to "fair use" translating manga is not copyright infringement, especially if you bought the raw.

If you live in a country that has laws similar to CFAA (Computer Fraud And abuse Act), in other words: itĬriminalize anyone violating the terms and conditions of a website. Including raw works without DRM (Digital Rights Managment). In doing research for this article, I was hard-pressed to find anything that was even vaguely respectful in Japanese porn-but more on that later.Scanlation is very helpful when anime/manga/videogames haven't gotten an international release/excluded storylines, I mean, obviously pornography leans toward misogyny as a rule, but Western porn has seen a growing trend of feminism and sex-positivity in recent years. Rather than the seedy sex shops you might find in America, hentai is often found alongside popular anime like Naruto and Dragonball.įor all of its mainstream appeal, though, hentai is anything but inclusive in fact, it’s pretty damn sexist. The hentai industry is massive, and more mainstream than porn is in the West. In Japan, hentai and ecchi, much like anime in general, are far more popular than their live action counterparts. There is another term, “ecchi,” which essentially means “naughty.” Most ecchi manga and anime are sexual, but feature little if any actual nudity tons of panties and ludicrously proportioned bosoms, mind you, but usually no tentacle penetration.
