This is obviously sad and frustrating, but
P.P.S. I think someone on Reddit owes someone else $100 now.
Where can I find this juicey reference?
I hate capitalism I hate capitalism
This isn’t about capitalism, this is about legal systems sucking ass.
Tbf,what Kakao is doing isn’t legal
Yes, but to prove that you’d have to go to court and that requires lawyers wich can’t work for free.
I say lets DDOS their website and services until they fuck off. They are a illigal monopoly as well in Korea but their korrupt system doesn’t do shit against them.
No no, throw drugs in their HQ then go after them. The precedent set is that the container is the problem, not the source of the illegal things itself.
If we throw stuff in there it should be 20 tonns of Cocaine and that in every corner of their offices so that the entire company goes down.
DDOS is terribly illegal.
Thabk you but no.
You can do it if you want to. I wouldnt advocate the action though.DDOS is terribly illegal
Bro… We are in a piracy community… And shit is only illegal if you get caught in general.

Sailors do not enable abuse nor condone getting yourself locked up.
That’s stupid 101.
Copyright vs federal jurisdiction.
I wonder for what you get a slap on the wrist and a fine and for what prison/jail time when participating.
What we do here with piracy for mostly personal gain is petty at best. That comment excludes the uploaders of such content.
Its not illegal if you don’t get caught… And especially not when you aren’t in Korea where the “crime” is committed…
If anyone interested, i don’t really give a damn about like anything
When the police tries to stop my motorbike, i just continue riding
If you need any person who will officially show middle fingers to any authorities, send me a message

RIP Tachiyomi, time to try out Kotatsu
how wll this affect aniyomi?
in no way if the dev can still work on aniyomi
Fuckingcapitalists
Maybe one of the forks will take off
Likely. If not, there’s always Dantotsu.
The Streisand effect of this all is great. I can’t be the only one that found out about this app (and the repos) because of the stupid law suit right? Amazing that they went after the container instead of the contents.
Can’t wait for Glad or Rubbermaid to be C&D’d when the cops find contraband in one of their bags/bins.
What even is Tachiyomi?
Edit: manga reading app, it also lets you follow sources and tells you when new episodes are published.
Perhaps one of the forks will take over.
One of Tachiyomi contributors will fork the app and continue development

Please let reddit die already, why he post there
Hopefully their personal information won’t be found out by those lawyers, or they could also be threatened into stopping development. It’s sad to see how companies are bullying volunteers into stopping legal projects.
Edit: SLAPP suits are similar to this, where companies file lawsuits while knowing they’d lose, if the defendent had the time, money and stress tolerance to win the lawsuit. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_lawsuit_against_public_participation
Companies that do that should loose all copyright and patents they ever had in return. I think that would solve the problem pretty quickly. (or the responsible person should get his hands cut off like in the good old days lol)
There are already a lot of other forks no?
R.I.P tachiyomi, I have used it for years. Kind of sad to see it go. Are the forks also abandoning development ? I have been using the TachiJ2k fork for the past 3 or so.
I guess I will be shifting to kotatsu soon.
There’s already dozens of forks. There was before all of this even started. Sad to see it go, but the app itself and how it functions will pretty well certainly go on. Tachiyomi isn’t even an app that needs routine updates, it’s the extensions that do. So existing setups will probably work indefinitely so long as extensions continue getting updates…
So, sounds very “oh fuck” but for end users probably means literally nothing changes. Unless something breaks the functionality of the app, which really just means the reader and library and everything, it doesn’t need active maintenance. Bugs might crop up occasionally, but everything looks fine as of now.
For now, this is true. But those forks get updates from Tachiyomi (changes in Android / security fixes / feature updates / bug fixes) so they need a new base.
It seems important to follow the Mihon rebrand. Some forks, SY and AZ, announced they will rebase off Mihon (it’s in the #faq of the Mihon discord server https://discord.gg/mihon)
This is how FOSS dies.
Where the living fuck are the EFF’s team of lawyers?
I know they generally focus on US cases, but god damn, you’d think the egregiousness of this would get their asses involved.
Was the case issued in Japan? From what I’ve read the legal system there is famously one sided, criminal cases have a 99.8% conviction rate.
Kakao is Korean, but no cases have been issued yet right? Only threats
Yes but thats enough for people with no money…
I mean the eff can only do so much to defend people who didn’t even fucking bother in the slightest to defend themselves and just rolled over at every turn
Here’s to hoping j2k stays actively developed. Unlikely, as j2 himself already had pretty low drive for it already. (｡╯︵╰｡)
This is a big part of why I dislike platforms that consolidate downloading and viewing.
I’ve been using PerfectViewer on a tablet for viewing for ages. There exist any number of ways to download and sync the chapters. I currently mostly use the mangadex-dl script and a syncthings folder and it’s no trouble. And all my read chapters I can just move into an archive drive where I’ll have them if anything ever happens.
