Dynasty Scans

How about no? (and especially in a series thread...) But since I don't want to be a total ass - use google and find out for yourself. It isn't that HARD.
I did a search and I saw a pair of forums, but I do not know, maybe it is because I was used to seeing websites like Mangafox (or even fansubs with the intention of earning money/fame) that I cannot see the big deal.
Ok, pardon for the off-topic, I have never seen such a thing in other threads...
I can tell you this: The reason I don't like mangafox is that it doesn't suit my needs. I like 2 genres-- yuri, and shounen. Reading yuri manga is best done on Dynasty, and shounen scanlations are 1. illegal cuz they're being published in book form, and 2. terrible quality.
Scanlators have their own reasons for hating mangafox and other readers like that, but I don't know the specifics. It may be because readers like those never ask for permission, but there's probably more. I wouldn't know.
The problem with them is that they earn ludicous amounts of money off of free scanlations. The legality of scanlations is already dubious at best, but companies like mangafox attempting to profit from it by throwing it on their site and claiming a ton of ad revenue is just ridiculous. And this is just one of the many reasons.
If they were located in any country other than china they would have gotten into alot of shit for copyright infringement. Good thing China doesn't give a crap.
