Uhm, I don't mind seeing dojin put up, but this & the original series are licensed. Should they really be up on the reader?

We follow the scanlator's policy. As Houkago is still releasing volumes - from the tankobon - and intends to maintain their download links, we will continue hosting it.

For whatever it's worth, it's been up for a while (longer than I've been around, I'm sure). The "new" releases are, for the most part, just re-releases from the tank(s).

Well, Yen press has it out as a book, NOW, in english.
It seems kinda wrong to be posting scans.

No, I understand its status - better than I did previously, at least - but again, our policy is to follow the lead of the scanlator. The only exception is if we are asked by the publisher to remove the content from the reader.

As it stands, this is not a policy I can really comment on. That's just "how it is."
The official word is more properly that "it's all illegal regardless, so it makes little difference."

(Sorry for the delayed response)

We do have one rule: follow the scanlator's lead. If they drop the series, we will drop the series as well; otherwise we will continue to host the series till asked not to.

To your example, Girl Friends was completed by MakiMaki, who pulled their download links after the series was licensed. K-On was completed by Houkago, who again, continue to maintain their download links and make new releases.
