Will you still have something to make fun of? http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-06-08/u.s-japanese-publishers-unite-against-manga-scan-sites
Always felt scan sites had served their purpose when the American companies started licensing crap left and right somewhere in 2003-2004. All scans are now good for are porn comics sinceAmericans shy away from releasing good portion of that stuff. No doubt some kind of buyfag/porn shame stigma is at effect too, since BL and Yaoi keeps getting shoved down the fangirl maws at an increasing rate. Not to mention the book format is more inconvenient than scan format though more portable obviously.

I hope Eros didn't pay a lot for it, because LS has been on the internet for fucking ever now. http://www.mania.com/aodvb/showthread.php?t=100913
I don't really know the market for porn comics considering how hard it is to get your hands on them. I don't even think I can get them across the border. I mean, I'd be willing to buy Pink Sniper, or (ugh) Domin-8 Me, or Spirit of Capitalism. But actually finding and purchasing the comics is a bit more of a trick, especially considering the bullshit obscenity laws up here. Eros has been in business since the mid-nineties, though, there must be someone out there buying them?
Yeah, guess it's harder around there, what with no shops or anything. Hell, I can just go to the comic shop a couple of towns south and get whatever fancies me.Reminds me I have Pink Sniper, Kamogawa's old shit, Tuna Empire's Spirit of Capitalism and Afterschool Slave Club and Masahiro Itosugi's Wish of my Sister. Too bad Icarus' translations are overly literal and therefore pretty lame, by the way, while Eros comics like Pink Sniper, Femme Kabuki and Slut Girl are a real hoot text wise.
