I'm loving all the replies pointing out their clown makeup.
Why did they make a public post about this? Surely they would just send notices to the relevant parties?
Nintendo can't get emulators that actually are for the primary purpose of bypassing their restrictions (even if doing so on legitimately purchased games is perfectly legal) shut down, and this company thinks they can close a fucking reader because it's possible some people might use it with pirated copies of their IP?🤣
They can and they will because the dev team caved.
In regards to the forks though. We'll see if they get a computer literate judge or not.
Harassing specific devs may mean those devs don't push back, but being open source means anyone else hosting it can trivially counter claim bullshit DMCA nonsense.
It doesn't take any tech literacy. There's no infringement and precedent out the ass that things far closer to the line are legal. There's no need for a novel interpretation of anything. The project doesn't contain their IP.

Afaik tachiy is not hosting any illegal content itself isn't it?
It's using a plugin system for various sources, basically it's just a fancier front end for the source websites. it is not hosting its own (illegal) content.
yeah, it is like suing a qbittorrent
yeah, they are trying to sue tachi since most of plugins were tachi's own plugins. idk what the copyrights holders are going to do now since the unofficial plugins are out.
No but it does give users one click access to the illegal sources, which could be a problem in some legal jurisdictions.
Personally I just use it to read from my personal komga server, but it would be sad to see the app get attacked.
It's like they're speaking a language I don't know
BRB, let me go create another fork.
Actually insane the extens these fucking idiots go to. Not only do they provide sub-par services, they also ask high amounts of money in return.
What if I didn't know English, are they going to translate X manhwa in my native language like the groups do? No? Well boo hoo they are actively hurting the popularity of artists instead of helping them.
They even threatened manhwa readers
Saikou already DMCAd last year and Dantotsu is reborn. Now, tachiyomi is next target. it will be like whack a mole game.
Is there anything left of Saikou? I've been keeping it on Obtainium waiting for a potential rebirth
(Btw, tangentially related, anyone knows if there is any fork named "Saikope"? I've had that app installed for a long time and I don't even remember where I got it anymore)
They literally said straight up that tachiyomi was a virus in their past post. Cant make this shit up
Each of these sites Tachiyomi uses are compliant with DMCA. Not taking it down on them and instead crippling Tachiyomi is literally the worst action to do.
Yeah, there was past incident that Saikou already DMCAd last year and Dantotsu is reborn. Suppose tachiyomi goes this way. that will be rough journey.
Fuck kakao 🖕
Great so now I'm gonna get sued because I forked tachiyomi? Fuck off
Bunch o' fuckwits trying to make themselves sound like damned war heroes
Tapas sucks. If you want me to buy your stuff, please at least actually sell it to me on Kindle or Kobo instead of making me use a shitty coin system
Not only Tapas, it's like every manhwa publisher
from r/manhwa
Already did the repo thing for tachiyomi, but what about anyiomi?
Aniyomi still has the anime extensions built in and you can add manga repos the same as tachi
