rpanons | ゴメンナサイ

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

it's not, but publishers ignore it because it's good advertising. in fact copyright is way worse in japan, that's why pixiv artists are so paranoid about their art appearing on other sites. they're afraid the companies will find it.

+1 it's the same as what happens with fanartists in the us. it's not legal, it's just that someone who isn't making a ton of money really isn't worth wasting their legal teams on unless they want to use someone as an example. a few years ago there was a big scare about fanart at comic cons being commissioned - and that was by "big name" artists (ie, published comic artists). not everyone is adam hughes pulling in $1000 a sketch and i don't doubt adam has his work arounds.

the point is, the reason you see "don't repost" on fanart and doujinshi from japan isn't so much translations and what not as it is the exposure. it's controlled in printed matter or on a small site in japan. i can guarantee they never expected 1/200 copies of a doujinshi would be scanned and uploaded online with their style/a handle of theirs attached to it, especially if it's smut.

same anon and i'd like to add this is also why the scanlations sites of yore were typically password-only forums or through irc channels. it gave them some control of it and made it harder to get a hold of.
