NHK reports that the Japanese government will work with anime and manga companies to begin a major operation to shut down websites allowing downloads of pirated content.
Piracy of said content is mainly centered in China, and Japanese companies are said to have lost at least 560 billion yen in the last year because of this. To counter this problem, the government and 15 other anime/manga companies will be working together to shut down these pirate sites.
The operation will begin on August 1st, and will also involve attracting users to legitimate websites, where they could pay a small fee to watch the content legally.
So they're going to go after sites like Comic-Han? Do they know how this is going to be?
"Legal" site put up by the Government
Crappy video they made

So what's going on?
Translation and editing of [Are] Tonaone (COMIC Kairakuten XTC Vol. 2) has been completed, but we will not release it until this Wani Magazine BS cools down.
It was about a big-breasted older woman next door and a shota who goes and visits her..
Currently doing chapter 5 of Okasu Bekarazu!! Junketsu Tokku! for Angry Fox Scans. Chapter 3 will be edited soon.
Over the weekend, I helped Nonoplayer with the description and part of his script of his "いつも良い取引き" hentai game. He'll be posting on DMM soon.

Dropbox Fail
So I use Dropbox on iPad to display the raw images when I translate.
I find that the images don't load (see screenshot).
After complaining to Dropbox, it turns out it's a bug (surprisingly they reply pretty fast).
They told me that they fixed the issue but now have to wait until it is approved by Apple.
Sigh.

Wani magazine situation and me
In light of Wani Magazine's recent DMCA towards E-Hentai, I will not be posting any work related to them for a while.
This includes work serialized in Comic X-Eros, Kairakuten, Shitsurakuen etc.
I already know of scanlators who received cease and desist notices.

E-Hentai DELETES most Wani Magazine published manga from Galleries
Today a whole bunch of commercial manga published by Wani Magazine posted on E-Hentai Galleries were deleted.
Below is a list of artists that are affected:
For an idea of what kind of work was deleted, see this thread. Most new manga drawn by the artists in the list are now gone.
Tenboro, the admin of the website said:
"There was a batch of additional notices from Wani that we had to act on. Due to their content I strongly suspect that someone was involved indirectly, but there was no direct contact from anyone else."
A mass deletion of content from the E-Hentai like this is unprecedented. We all know by now that Fakku recently landed a contract with Wani Magazine to publish English versions of their manga on their website. Could they have been involved? Will this cause other publishers to file takedowns?

Japanese man sets self on fire in Shinjuku
A man set himself on fire in central Tokyo in protest at a proposed law which could allow Japan to deploy its military overseas. The man was taken to hospital after being hosed down but his condition was not immediately known, officials said.
Japan's government could make the change to its pacifist constitution as early as next Tuesday. The US-drafted constitution bans war and "the threat or use of force" to settle international disputes. Witnesses said the middle-aged man, wearing a suit and tie, climbed onto a pedestrian bridge at Tokyo's Shinjuku station. "
He was sitting cross-legged and was just talking, so I thought it would end without incident," one eyewitness told Reuters. "Then all of a sudden his body was enveloped in fire."Reports said the man used a megaphone to shout for over an hour about the change to Japan's constitution. Video shown on national television in Japan showed the flames being extinguished by officers.

JASRAC are assholes (ORLY?)
On June 26th, JASRAC (Japanese version of the RIAA) took a kyabakura (type of night club with hostesses) to Tokyo District Court and they were ordered to pay a fine of 157 million yen for having a pianist play jazz and pop songs in the club without permission.
The company who run the clubs claimed that the music was for enhancing the club's atmosphere but the chief judge dismissed these claims and said they were used for commercial purposes.
JASRAC's strong stance against music sharing/distribution etc have made them a hated figure. Now that Japan's music industry is dead (only AKB48 and Johnnys sell CDs these days), they need another source of income.

They fuck. The girl complains that the effort wasn't worth it.
