I don't know if I should have asked permission before posting this actually, if the mods think it's un-respectful please let me know and I'll rephrase everything
( Read more... )
Just out of curiosity, why does it bother you? (Plainly out of curiosity, since I scanlate for the Gyakuten Saiban community and am pretty so so about it. XD)
Its kind of hard to know when things circulate, since this fandom is huge and I don't use Emule, but hopefully other members can keep an eye out for you to give you piece of mind.
Because it's not that I said "DO NOT SHARE THEM" (in this case I could see why nobody asked me and they shared it somewhere, like..they were afraid of my reaction)) I just said "please if you want to share them, let me know" Was it so hard to leave a message saying "hey this doujinshi is great would you mind if I shared it on some forum?" and the obvious answer, since I didn't have problem with that, would have been"sure no problem!" But nobody asked me ._. it's just a matter of respect my request. I was the one who bent his doujinshi and took time to scan it so I would have appreciated to know where the doujinshi was shared. I know internet is well..internet, but on this comm people were always nice and I never had problems before..
Sometimes people forget things. Especially if they have bad memories, like me. Like, I have no clue where I got half of the doujinshis I have downloaded. So I don't know who to credit or ask or anything.
these doujinshi were shared only on this comm..I never posted them anywhere else. I guess if people would read all the posts instead of just downloading..they would realize I asked a very simple thing. I didn't want to ruin the scans writing my nick or my email or worst putting some drawing to mark them before sharing them. If you want to share something that you downloaded from some place you don't remember, for what concerns KKM, first ask here..with 2000 members I'm sure people will be able to answer you and then think twice, you could really get in trouble, I'm quite nice in comparison; I've seen people bash other people because they shared things without asking for permission.
Even if you only posted them here, it doesn't mean someone won't forget. And I think if someone is going to share something, they should share it with everyone and not just certain people or one community. I'm not saying you're doing anything wrong, but maybe you should cut people some slack. They're not doing it deliberately to disrespect you, and you shouldn't take it personally.
But uh. I also wanted to ask if you would re-upload them. ^^;; I don't think I have the ones you mentioned. If you'd like, I could add myself a little reminder to ask permission before sharing?
Who shares things is totally entitled to decide the people he wants to share that thing with, if I want to share something I scanned with just my group of friends I'll do it, it's not that I have to share it with everyone. I shared the doujinshis I mentioned on this community only, so it's obviously a member of this community who shared it somewhere else. I asked a simple thing and it was ignored by probably someone who didn't even thank and downloaded the file dismissing totally the post(leechers are like this) I don't care for what reason they did it, the result is this and I want to prevent for it to happen in the future.
I'll see what I can do to reupload the doujinshi but this time since people didn't even tell me before sharing my scans, if I reuplad things here there will be a new rule like DO NOT POST THESE DJS ANYWHERE ELSE. In anycase since the big number of menbers I already stopped to share my new scans.
In the zipped file, add a little document to remind people of the role, where they got it, and your info to contact you. It might help for those who forget :)
yeah, you're perfectly right, I thought about it before too but well..eto I'm ashamed to say it but I didn't put it for one simple reason: since doujinshi are not supposed to be shared, like every other official pic after all (but people don't really care and I don't blame them..who could find out what we do after all?) I didn't want to have problems if for example the file would end in the hand of a japanese fan that maybe is against sharing things and decides to inform the circle that with my info on the dj zip would find me. It's a remoooote chance but better safe than sorry. That's also why I shared them under lock. I know that saying it at this point and in a community so big is pretty ridiculus but I'm afradi it's the truth. The only thing I can do now is prevent other people to do the same asking the help of members.
Well, that's part of the decision you make when you share with people. When I shared my ConYuu doujinshi in the ConYuu community, I didn't make rules even though I'm not crazy about the idea of them all over the place. But, ultimately, I knew that it was an impossible request, especially since it only takes one person to have it spread all over the place.
Really, sharing is sharing, so it's not too bad a thing. You just need to decide what you're going to do. :) Good luck!
guess you're right to be upset, if you request to be ask if someone uses your scans well, they should, I haven't made much sharing myself, just a couple scans here and there and if I share something all I ask is credit, if you share something and people are greatful they can follow your request. I'm really really sorry that you scans were 'shared' without your aproval. I'm really happy and greatful for the scans you shared with us. ^^ It really cheers me up to read them, and the comments of the people of the comm too. thax
...more than approval, I just asked to let me know ._. But then what I dislike is people who don't even read the post and just download >_< I bet some of them did it because I refuse to believe that the nice people who always comment shared them >_<
I'm glad it cheers you up to read the doujinshi, that's the main reason I shared them after all. I just hope people will keep an eye on things from now on ._.

Miyuchan, I think I have a suggestion if you're up to it. If you have the software to do it, I really suggest that you put a small note on the doujinshi that it was scanned by you and should not be distributed elsewhere. I think that would be a good solution to this. You really can't stop people from sharing without your permission because I know a lot of people out there think that just because it's on the Internet, it's a "totally free domain" when it's not.
That is a good idea but I don't think I have the software and in anycase now it is too late since all the doujinshi named on the post are already scanned. I know I can't stop people from sharing, but at least If people keep an eye (not necessarily check, but if, when surfing they happen to see some djs) I can at least keep in check where these djs are shared.

Oh yeah my decision is done, there is not way I'm sharing my djs anymore on a comm that has 2000 members, it's really a suicide.
Arigatou!!
