tldr: wtg 4chan

Can't say I'm surprised. I figure it was only a matter of time until they found out about us.

Cute letter for a cease and desist!

that guy is everywhere

Did you have to remove the artist wiki entry as well? I don't see how that's relevant.

Actually, I think that guy somehow stalks the whole of 4chan on his own or has people hired speciffically to do so, since any LINDA doujinshi posted to Rapidshare or MU and immediately linked to in 4chan takes only a few minutes to be found and deleted, even if the filename was completely random. It's just creepy.

I didn't do anything with the wiki. It looks like there originally wasn't a page for linda.

Hm. According to the history, sgcdonmai had edited it in the past. But whatever, I suppose it doesn't much matter.

Perhaps it's time to reconsider the idea of blocking access to rating:e for unregistered users? Porn is what brings the 4channers here.

Yes, please do that.

"Never again!!"

Oh well, they were some very nice works.

edit: For those interested in LINDA, his main website is gone but you can see his epic copyright rant at http://linda-comic.com/copyforeign1/index2-copy1.htm

Highlight:

"OH, The artist works is good, I like it. So I made this artist's comics all free. Enjoy guys, not only us, Japanese comic copy user also welcome, I make this artist must create new comics by free for us, Even the artists, publishing company, book shops got the damage of selling, I don't care. I don't say thank you to the artists works by paying even a cent, The other copy users say thank you to me, it is confortable to me, so I keep uploading their comics. Let's share! Japanese comic artists, even if their comic culture getting decreace, I don't care. It is my free hobby."
This is so terrible. This is the reason I say free-sharing comics , means killing artists.

While this is the artist's right, I can't help but feel this is a little anal. I can't speak for everyone, but I know if I want something, I'll buy it, even if I've already consumed it "illegally." I'm willing to bet at least half of the people that downloaded it wouldn't have even thought about buying it in the first place.

Edited by 葉月: let's not spill the beans in the very thread about it, okay?

Good thing that good things are good. And I won't say more than that.

So is it saying the comic is free or not free? ^_^;; I can't understand that Highlight.

Well that sucks.

Imagine a Japanese person trying to mock 4chan users in English. This is the result of that.

That's one area where Korea definitely beats Japan.

Seen on Sankaku Complex this afternoon . . .

Esteemed ero-mangaka Linda, known for his masterful and generous depictions of oppai, is set to offer fully uncensored English language doujinshi for download in standard JPG format, without DRM of any form and at a modest price.

It is hoped that this will offer international fans the opportunity to easily support a favoured artist, and obtain some quality erotic manga whilst so doing.

The first release, made in cooperation with J-List, consists of two titles, Ble-Ori and Ble-Hina, both Bleach inspired ero-doujinshi. More are promised soon.

Both are supplied in generous resolution and quality, in both JPG and the inexplicably popular CBR format, and are free of the odious censorship which blights Japanese visual culture. A French release is also due.

Each is available for an inexpensive $6.

Explains the massive C & D's lately . . .

No, the C&Ds and takedown notices started long before Linda even began trying to find a decent way to sell copies outside of Japan.

The J-List deal is a good idea, though.
