It had little to do with this "Onemanga" place closing down and more to do with a general QQ about piracy. I edited my response with a link to a different thread.

Japan Forum's rules show that online piracy is not endorsed here.

Lamenting the loss of an illegal piracy site is going to get a reaction. I am sure many users here don't even realize what One Mange and these other sites are doing is illegal. I am just ensuring that JF users know that JF does not endorse the activities of pirates, and that what they are doing is, indeed, illegal.

As long as we're speaking in generalities....

I don't get online manga sites as a concept. I'd much rather read the manga I own in places away from the computer screen. More mobile and easier on the eyes :)

I am not sure what you mean.

As in "In general" terms, you were talking about general downloading of manga being illeagel, he's giving a "general" opinion, I think.

Thanks, but I would rather let Koir explain what he meant.

Was making reference to turning this thread into a discussion that's also in a different thread specifically branched off (by you) to discuss anime/manga piracy with a more general tone not tied to any specific site.

The One Mange shut down is a victory for true fans of manga and their artists and creators. I hope all other illegal piracy sites meet the same fate.

I didn't know what Onemanga was before this commotion, so I don't really give a toss on their fate. All I can say is, people will still post manga scans as long as there those who want to read it, they'll just need to spend a little more time now searching for it.
