[Locked] FAKKU State of the Union 2016

It really saddens me that so many people use "like and enjoy" but turn around to say "but I won't pay for it".

If you actually like and enjoy the products of someone's labor, why not stop being a leech and actively tell them that you support their work by paying for it?

If the creator you like the most doesn't have legitimate content why not try to help steer the publisher/artist towards Fakku?



Most of the complaints about favorites is that once a title was removed from the site, it disappeared from one's favorites list, instead of just showing as plain text.

Agree with most of what you said except this. The problem with USA laws is that it must be YOUR work, over a certain percentage. This is why if you remix a song enough you can get away with uploading it without copyright strike and still sell it. Vocals make it a bit harder bit with editing you can get around it. Most people though want to make an original better and so they pay a certain amount that allows them to keep the original and use that material.

When it comes to work like this, yeah, the art is there, however, if it isn't digital that means someone must have uploaded it and scanned. Unless you have a good scanner you need to edit the pages to make them look better, levels, curves, blur, etc, then cleaning the text off because you are translating it, now typsetting, AND even more grey area if you had a person doing redraws which means what was there, art, that you didn't edit, is now changed and not original. All this put together makes is an EXTREMELY grey area even for USA laws for copyright and it is primarily why most sites can get away with not doing anything about it.

Where this gets more on the law side is when they have a company (such as fakku) who has bought the RIGHTS to do all of the above stuff. This means the FREE version that is out, is NOW copyright infringed because a company bought the rights to do this and sell them. The free version (even if it came first and was completely non ripped) is now too identical to the legal version and that is when you can do something about it. And this is primarily why sites that don't want to get fucked by USA Laws back down and take stuff off there site if it is licensed.

Assuming Fakku does all the scanlation work themselves plus having the rights, they can now do the same, where other sites hosting their content can be punished. Of course adding to that exclusive work that isn't out already. As i said before this would be the primary appeal of fakku, having that exclusive content.

The problem is that that there really is no insentive for people who don't want to pay to come here. Having the content is great, but you must provide something for people who don't want to pay to desire. Providing "less quality" chapters at lower resolution for free is one way. This has people coming for free content while always seeing all the content THEY COULD get if they paid. Eventually, they might purchase, but you can still maybe get money from them via ads. Yeah, the free content means a little loss, but not providing any free content at all gives more of a loss. Because now you have a community used to not paying for things suddenly having to pay for things and they don't like that.

Anime was the same way, many people had no way of watching anime, so when crunchyroll and funimation, netflix, etc came around everyone was pissed. But then they realized that they can get content on the fly (instead of downloading it), at a better quality (than other streaming sites) easily. And hey they can still view some free content at lower quality if they don't want to. This is the appeal for payment.

Piracy is appealing because it provides an easier and cheaper way to get content. For a lot of people, not all, the appeal of piracy isn't that it is FREE it's that it is EASIER than obtaining content the legal way. If you actually make acquiring content EASIER than piracy, a lot of people are willing to pay the money for that. Not all, those with financial trouble surely wouldn't, but most who have the money only choose piracy because it's easier.

I`ll post my opinion before you get an official answer. But since it`s per month basis yes you can not subscribe for the next month. To my memory as long as you cancel your sub before the next sub payment period you are good (there should be an option to not continue your subscription to stop reoccurring payments). At least there should, most subscription sites have this.

As i said previously, my statement only applies if there is translations in place. The entire package itself is looked at, not singular portions. You don`t copy right a section of a picture, you copyright the picture itself. Same with a song, you can't copyright a beat, but the entire song can be protected. Hence why i said once there is publishing under the same language it then becomes copyright because just those other things doesn't change the product enough to make it exempt from copyright. Of course nor does translating you exempt you from copyright but only with the translation does the rest get covered in a grey area.

Well now I'm not coming back because ALL of my favorites have been removed, its been real FAKKU.
