But I just wanted to ask... Is borrowing a book from the library, reading it, and giving it back for free a crime or piracy? Some of you might say that libraries don't make money like OneManga, but to that I respond; If OneManga stopped making profit from advertisement and simply uploaded Manga so that it's available like a book is available at the library, would you guys still consider it piracy?
libraries have to have a licence and i belive they pay the authors everytime their book is taken out of the library or so i have heard but no onemanga not making money would still be illegal not just onemanga now though all the other manga uploading sites have folded and or are folding with one of them actually being sued in the court of florida.
