    You need a Google, Apple or Facebook account to sign up for Manta. Even if you want to pay, it’ll cost you more than money.

    As someone with a bookshelf dedicated to manga, there isn’t a universe where I pay for seeing manga digitally.

    Sell me physical stuff, then it’s a fair deal.

      I think that’s more because they work themselves to death, not because they’re not allowed to pirate manhwa.

    Copyright laws are stupid. Copyright should expire the same way patents expire, after 10 years.

      That would just further disenfranchise creators, most of whom don’t make much (if any) money. Why would corporations fork out money for rights to stories/scripts/music when they can wait 10 years and get it for free? We have enough issues currently with corps stealing our IP to train their AIs, and then regurgitate almost exact copies to directly compete against us.
