Quick question: would it be in any way, shape, or form illegal for you guys to scan each english translated manga into data format on a computer using an image scanner and upload it here on FAKKU so that all of us can view and/or download it at least in data format? That way even if we don't win the actual contest, we all can win in a different way by being able to still see and read them in data format? Sort of a win/win kind of thing? Would anyone else be in favor of this? (I suppose that was several questions... :lol:)
No, no, no. Absolutely not.
1) Contrary to popular belief, we got those books from Icarus Publishing entirely out of their goodwill (no, we didn't bribe them, threaten them or whatever you guys are thinking about). It's not a good idea to betray that trust by scanning their books and distributing it to the masses, don't you?
2) Not everyone's supposed to win in a contest. That's why it's a contest: to find a winner.
3) Each book has around 220 pages. Not to mention we would need to destroy those books to scan them, meaning we wouldn't be able to give them out to the actual winners.
4) Not to mention the copyright laws we'd be breaking, eh?
Hope I made myself clear.

wow i really wanna get the swing out sisters... but er what happens to people who lose in the contest does that mean we'll never see it again or will their eventually be scans?
Unfortunately, it follows from what I said above about our relationship with Icarus Publishing, that even if we had the scans, we will not put them up for you or help you find them. If you want to get the book, you can buy it, and
Icarus publishing has a lot of their releases free for download anyway, so go check their site.
