Sharing Japanese comic copy has been killing artists.


I, webmaster of this website, I used to have open-mind for foreign comic users. Until I found too much copy-shareing of Japanese Artists on foreign copy site. I found much of LINDA's comic books copy, I was so shocked. Can you imagine how we feeling when we saw that? I asked to delete it to uploaders. So they deleted it. The copy uploaders, they has been damaging us by copy-sharing for a long time. And unfortunately, Japanese comic copy users also they visit foreign copy sites. Since then, I changed my mind the way to foreign comic uses. Not all of them, some of copy uploader does, I know. But I cannot be very open to every people, because of the copy users. I feel sorry for normal comic users. I am very sorry. but I can't let the copy users damage Japanese comic users.

If we found LINDA's comic scan, we gonna ask to DELETE the webmaster or administrator of those copy-sharing website, upload service.Believe us, we will.

Some uploaders say, it is hard to get Japanese comics, that's why we share. Is it true? I don't really think so. There are many of import online bookshops they has Japanese comic books. So from foreign contry, they has the way of get those comics to buy. They just want to read Japanese comics by free.
We don't push you to buy, but at least do not upload our comics. We really sad when we found our comics on free-sharing web.

Do you know that many Japanese copy users visit and get Japanese comics copy by free from foreign copy sites? They stop buying comics. They have a enough enviolonment to buy Japanese comics, but they really like to get free contents. I think asame of them.
They has been sharing foreign copy sites url. Once if copy sites webmaster feel that Japanese visitors increace suddenly, be careful that.

Japanese comic artists spend a much works, times, and money for creating a comic. It is very hard work for creating new comics. Also, Artists pay to the assistant worker about 80-100 dollers a day each, but 1page costs of comic is almost same as that. That's why comic book selling is really important for the artists, but some foreign copy site put too mach copy of Japanese comic books. That mean the site user or webmaster saying to the artists,

"OH, The artist works is good, I like it. So I made this artist's comics all free. Enjoy guys, not only us, Japanese comic copy user also welcome, I make this artist must create new comics by free for us, Even the artists, publishing company, book shops got the damage of selling, I don't care. I don't say thank you to the artists works by paying even a cent, The other copy users say thank you to me, it is confortable to me, so I keep uploading their comics. Let's share! Japanese comic artists, even if their comic culture getting decreace, I don't care. It is my free hobby."
This is so terrible. This is the reason I say free-sharing comics
, means killing artists.

The country it is popular of free-sharing entertainment contents, they never gonna have the development of the kind of culture.

Japanese comic culture looks going on well, but it is not really true. Many of comic magazines had stopped new publishing, Japanese we don't buy comics much like before. So, foreign comic fans could support Japanese comic culture or not? I think comic uploaders are not the supporter, they looks destroy our comic culture. They spread comic copis by free. That's the way they enjoy just for them.
The copy users don't pay even a cent for the Japanese comic entertainment, even worth, they upload the contents, that make it free.

Do anyone can draw comics without doing any other job, then show all over the world by free, how do make a living?
Drawing comics is our works, this is a our own job. That's the way we live. Do we have to work for entertainment people by volunteer? How do we make a living? Even if no copy exists, it is hard to keep creating new comics. The copy damage really can kill artists.
Sharing comic scan is copy user's hobby, they don't get any damage, they don't lose even a cent. Isn't it unfair?
If uploader wanna share comic copy, draw a comic by yourself, then show to the people.
Once you become an artist, you could feel how we've got damage and suffer by comic copy sharing.

Not only comics, animation, games, many kind of contents we proud of them, those company have gotten damage by copy-fun sub. Some of them quit the planning of translationed publishing on their countris, it does'nt work, because of copy users. The copy users destroy the oppotunity of get the real-reagal version contents by themselves.

We ask to the copy users again.

TO the copy file uploader:
* DELETE the LINDA's comic copy which you uploaded. It spread over and over to even Japanese user.
* Do Not upload LINDA's comic never again. You should not make the contents free-sharing.
* Do Not request uploading LINDA's comic. It is possible to find online-book shops has Japanese books.
* Tell us if you find the copy site which has LINDA's comic copy.

To the copy sites webmaster;
(These are still not good, but just a little bit better, Just I think.(not every artits)

* Do not accept all guest users, especially to Japanese visitors. How come some sites has no passward, no log-in system.
* Do not put direct download link which shown to all guest users, especially that has no password, too.
* Do not put the pictures preview, especially Japanese language version comics. They can't understand Janapese, why they put English and Japanese versiton both? Is that mean shown to Japanese copy users,too? (I still both gonna DELETE, but Japanese version has priority more than English ones. I need talk to the translators, Does he think he is doing good job? Translation is still illigal thing. )
* Copy users already has many way to get those by other techical , so do not upload copy files especially on the web, That is too easy to get for Japanese,too. do not request.You must not spread the copy to all over the world,

* Block some famous search engine access especially Japanese.

Exception about recent some dojin books:

There are some Translated English-virsion of recent dojins of LINDA Project.
N**t*'s 1 and 2, Bl**c*'s 3 of all. I gonna try to Not do removal request, If those translated virsions uploaded.
However, Please follow the small rules.
Do Not upload many books, Do Not upload any Japanese virsion.
Please attach the file name with "english, or translated"word . and No cheating please, too.
Post the attention:
"Please Do Not upload or request other this artist's comics.
Do not upload any Japanese virsions of this artist's comics.
There is a limited Exception about this artit's post. to use that only few recent TRANSLATED dojins "

If there is not any translated one, do not upload any Japanese version.
Please wait when the translated version relieced by someone.


There are a limitation and a part of exception about the use of the art of LINDA.

The art manager never allow people to upload LINDA's comic. Especially do not upload any Japanese version comics of LINDA. Usually, the art manager and his staff gonna remove if we find those copy files.

However, we not gonna do removal request on the limited case. The user put only few translated dojins. with a little care mind.

I call these as "care mind"
not gonna show any direct link, with password, avoid Japanese search engine, the file name included "english" or "translated". access block to too many Japanese visitors. ..

Please do not upload, but just some case, we try to be not too strict about removal.

This exception is not for every sites and users. If when I saw the case, I gonna remove. that
The site and users doing too much uploading damage to this artist. We do removal request, or do more for protect our arts.
We cannot promise to give this exception to the every case, to the every users or sites who they never care about artist.

updated add this section on September 20th, 2008


If you enjoy free-reading, sharing Japanese comics, at least DO NOT UPLOAD those, that's the smallest manner for the artists who entertainment you.
When someone post LINDA's works,especially terrible too much case include whole works. I gonna do removal request. I will. In most of case, the administrator do listen my removal request as their responsivility.

Please understand it. That is a big problem for the artists. Copy damage stop our new creation.

Killing artists leads no new comics. Do not make the wrong way by yourself.
If you love Japanese comics, do not damage us, Please save it and have a little support mind for the artists. Why don't we find the way to be happy both.


Best Regards,
Thank you very much for your cooperation.

From LINDA's official art manager, organizer, and webmaster.
Do not Enter for copy user.
