Ooookay,so the\\\"coalition going after the public libraries after taking down all the aggregator sites(like Onemanga)\\\"wasn\\\'t one of my better edits.Let\\\'s see if I can explain this a little better;
A lot of people often saw sites like Onemanga as a sort of online library.Shure,the scans posted there are either grey,or,illegal as hell,but for many,it was a good way to;
1.keep up to speed on a favorite series(many DO buy the mangas when the do come out)
2.read a favorite series that isn\\\'t licenced and hasn\\\'t left Japan(for every one series that\\\'s licenced,there are a dozen that are not.)
3.read manga (licenced or otherwise) in certain parts of the world that the \\\"publishing coalition\\\" wouldn\\\'t touch with a ten-metre pole.
From my POV,what the \\\"publishing colation\\\"is doing right now is,more or less,simular to,oh say,the nazis emptying out the public libraries of certain books,and burning them in huge bonfires.Or the actions of the so-called \\\"firemen\\\" in the movie \\\"Fahrenheit 451\\\".But all-in-all,forcing the aggregator sites to close down or else be sued by thier army of ambulance-chasers will probably end up hurting the\\\"publishing coalition\\\"in the long run(close down one site,3more will take it\\\'s place).Well that\\\'s all I\\\'ve got to say on this subject right now.Agree with it,or not,it\\\'s up to you.
