Well, I have never had one before. Just as I was planning to get into more manga reading now, I read this posting. I really don’t mind the C&D letters or whatever. I would even pay 1-2$ for episodes if it were easy to do so, but I’m not happy with the distribution system whatsoever, and none of the series I watch is available to buy anyways. So, who cares.
But! There is the rumour that #lurk might get shut down. As one of those scanlation leechers who was downloading things long before #lurk ever appeared, I actually don’t mind its disappearance – if it comes – all that much. If Manga-Updates were to disappear, that would be much, much worse actually. However, I realized that I have never used anything else than #lurk and direct downloads on the websites of the scanlators recently, so perhaps this is the right time to finally get around to at least download the things I have always wanted to read. :3 (Also, somebody has uploaded all of Mangajin 1-60 and I’ll be sure to make use of it.)
