Since we had a thread about Tachiyomi removing extentions I thought this might also be relevant.

Picture version

Text version:

Tachiyomi, under the guise of 'legitimate' open-source development, has been seriously infringing on the copyright of manhwas worldwide.

We have collected personal details of most individuals involved in this project and plan to proceed with strong legal and institutional response against over 100 forked GitHub pages.

For the official English versions of KakaoPage/Kakao Webtoon, please enjoy them on Tapas!

Be Official, Be Legal Readers.

Not sure how many contributors were involved in Tachiyomi itself but it looks like they'll be aiming for any forked projects as well.

Time to break out GitHub's developer defense fund?

GitHub hosts Nintendo emulators, and Nintendo is insanely litigious and has a much better argument than these dumb fucks pretending they can take down a reader because piracy exists.

They'll follow the DMCA takedown process. They're required to. But they're not going to pull a YouTube and go way beyond their legal obligations to pacify big IP holders.
