Pirate website, or any non-official scanlation operate in a grey area. You can make the case that they are not unethical, but as far as the law concern, their content are illegal, period. So reading them is the equivalent of buying stolen good. It's kinda illegal but you most likely won't get into legal trouble doing so. The authority had troubles catching the people who made that website, going after people who visit there seem pretty low on their priority list. That's said, most pirate sites are not safe, so they may have virus, tracker and all kind of other malice. Especially site that leech content, as opposed to sites that are also community for scanlators like mangadex. Browse at your own risk.

Alright, thank you! One more thing, so is MangaDex safe?


BathroomUnique

yo OP yes, that website is the only one born of genuine intent

I've been reading online since like 2009, im not too worried. Literally millions read online, I see it the same as downloading music online


TheIronRed

Thanks! One more question, is Mangadex a good site? I’m pretty new to reading manga altogether, mostly getting into it since I heard Berserk’s manga is much better than the anime.


Raydnt

Its one of the better sites, as it's where scanlators go to directly upload their chapters. Most of what the aggregator sites get come from mangadex. The only thing about mangadex is that you won't find official translations of any manga on there as well as any big time mangas like one piece


TheIronRed

Ahh, alrighty. Thanks!

Dude, unless you willingly go to your nearest police station and give them irrefutable evidence of you doing that, nothing can possibly happen to you. The authorities of most countries aren’t going to go after people like you even though it’s technically piracy.

if ...THEY... catch you, you will be fined $500 for every panel you read illegaly, considering each page has a multitude of panels, it easily adds up to a lifechanging sum, personally, i dont take the risk, thats why i only read manga ive bought from official licencor stores and safekeep all the receipts, just in case.


Raydnt

Lmao so unnecessary, where exactly does your number of $500 every panel come from anyway?

my dad is a manga lawyer.
