@scratchthatout I think the unfortunate reality is less volumes = less financial risk. The "stigma" of canceled/unfinished doesn't really exist.

can anyone into sociology explain why vine felt safe and fun and led to many iconic memes & is fondly remembered yet tiktok feels like the actual devil making our species meaner and dumber by the day

RSL has been friends with Bryan Singer for 30 years...

And then there's the separate rigamarole of fan culture where everything needs to be current. JoJo's fans will complain forever because Viz will never catch up. Billy Bat was licensed and there was that one guy who whined they didn't dump all volumes at once. (2/2)

[la deuxième lettre @2X24_B]

I think the issue(with English scans) is that the internet is a global entity. English is the dominant language, so it's not just Americans reading them. So even if something's licensed, markets like South America and Europe aren't catered to. (1/2)

“How to Turn Piracy Manga Readers into Consumers of a Healthy Comics and manga Industry”

The most standard and traditional solution is for a country to join the international copyright system.
However, the reality is often more complicated than simply saying, "They should just join."
Such decisions are frequently tied to much larger international agreements and negotiations.
In South Korea, for example, the Uruguay Round negotiations caused enormous controversy and social debate.
If I remember correctly, hosting the Olympics was often spoken of as one of the benefits that came alongside Korea's broader integration into the international community.

But what if I told you there is a simpler and often more effective solution than joining the international copyright system?
The answer is surprisingly simple.

A country develops legitimate comic publishing and distribution businesses.
The moment a foreign comic or manga title is officially licensed, registered, and sold within that country, reading pirated versions of that work becomes illegal under domestic law.
Why?
Because the work is now being sold legally within that country.
Because taxes are being paid.
Taxes.
The fact that taxes are being paid is important.

What kind government wants a business that takes money out of the country without paying taxes?
Simply saying, "Please crack down on illegal scanlations," is rarely enough.
Governments may act, but if they do, it is often because of external pressure rather than genuine domestic interest.
Once taxes are involved, however, the situation changes completely.
The goal should be to create legitimate businesses, pay taxes, and then ask for enforcement.
Taxes are one of the government's most important concerns.

But for legitimate businesses, taxes are also one of the strongest tools available.
Yet there is an even simpler and more effective solution.

Based on my own research, I believe it may be the ultimate solution.
A country becomes a producer of comics and manga.
Its creators begin selling their works beyond their own borders.
In other words, it becomes a comics nation.
The country has a soft power!
The comics industry generates more tax revenue.
Creators earn foreign income through exports.
That alone is wonderful.
And then they generate even more tax revenue.
When that happens, I believe the conversation changes completely.

People begin saying:
"We want to join the international copyright system.
We cannot tolerate our country's valuable cultural creations being stolen."
And the key card needed to make that future possible is the aspiring comics and manga artists of the world.

I have often said that aspiring creators around the world are treasures for the future of comics and manga.
I have said it privately for more than a decade.
I have said it publicly on YouTube for at least 3 years.
Today's discussion is simply one more reason why I believe they are so valuable.
They are one of the secret weapons of the future of comics.
Evangelion, hasshin!
No—not Evangelion.
Evange...line. Evangeline!
(Phew... close enough.)

More importantly, the future of the comics industry must be viewed at the national level.
Not merely a question for individual creators.
Nor is it a question for a single company.
It is not simply a matter of someone working so harder.
The comics and industry must be viewed from the perspective of national cultural policy.
From the perspective of taxation.
From the perspective of exports.
From the perspective of future economic growth.
From the perspective of international copyright law and international crime.
And even from the perspective of literacy, education, and learning outcomes.

Only then we think on that scale can we begin to find an answer to piracy.
To everyone who has ever said, "Please don't steal from mangaka and manga that we love!"
I sincerely love and appreciate you.
More than I can adequately express.
Because of people like you, I was able to continue working.
I was able to make a living through drawing manga.
And I was fortunate enough to encounter the opportunity called Dr. STONE!

But rather than fighting readers, perhaps we should remember that the real problem is not the readers.
The real problem is the criminal organizations that profit from the system.
So instead of fighting one another, perhaps we should ask a different question:
How can we create a gift for all of us?

To be continued...
