Perhaps this is the first “breaking news” podcast I’ve done. Not that this is completely breaking news but it, nonetheless, an interesting development in things that we do in fandom.<\/p>\n

Last week, there was a bit of a stir when it was made public that a particular scanlation group has said that they’re blocking Japanese IPs<\/a> so that publishers and doujin creators can’t access their works. Clearly, this doesn’t sound right on all angles but in this podcast, Nellie, who works for Crunchyroll and is an editor genre fiction, discusses with me the complex story that arises from this decision of said scanlation group as well as discussing the complexities we face as fans of Japanese animation and manga.<\/p>\n

Some of the things we definitely discussed is the protective attitudes and measures of artists and with regards to the fan works which goes on both ends (Western fandom side and Japanese fandom side). You might have seen pages or websites with the mark OFP which is Online Fanarts Protection<\/a> group (now defunct). If you want to consider the economic states of doujin artists, you can read this research on how much doujin artists make in Comic Market<\/a>. Or maybe you can also see the problems of Manga artists<\/a> too. And for those who are thinking of permissions, here are some<\/a> things<\/a> that can help in case you are lost in translation. Asking permission does make an artist happy<\/a>. Of course, stealing and sharing it a whole lot early can make artists mad, as is the case of Yamamori Mika’s page leak for Hirunaka Ryusei<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the end, we are in a conundrum, finding no real solutions (although honestly we hope that attitudes DO change). Personally, I’d love to hear every one’s comments on this. But let’s not make this a bashing of the group or that scanlations is wrong but rather really open up discussions on fan attitudes and what needs to be changed so that we can meet fans and content producers in Japan halfway.<\/p>\n
