Begining of the end of free internet

[Saifullah Sani]

thanks to USA after Megaupload incident other companies are following USA footsteps and yesterday MangaStream announced

VIZ Media Licensed Series Dropped
February 11th, 2012

Dear MangaStream supporter,

It's with a heavy heart that I make the following announcement. MangaStream will no longer be releasing the following series:

- Naruto
- Bleach
- One Piece
- Hunter x Hunter
- Katekyo Hitman Reborn
- Claymore
- D.Gray-man

VIZ Media has demanded that we end our scanlation work for all of the above. This comes despite our best efforts to pursuade fans into supporting official distributors by being the only group to actively prevent an archive from forming on their website through the removal of chapters that are older than a couple weeks. They've succeeded in little more than invoking inconvenience to the community as their digital magazine missed the mark; it runs several issues behind and only features 3 of the above series. So long as their product continues to be slow, awkward and inferior to something a ragtag group of nobodies can churn out in a few hours - fans will continue to look to scanlation groups and aggregators for their weekly fix.

The aggressive and escalating nature of their threats have forced our hand into removing the content. MangaStream will no longer be posting full scanlations for any of the aforementioned series, we will instead focus our efforts onto the series we do that are not licensed by VIZ Media (you can assume everything currently on our directory will be continued).

Our final message to our loyal JUMP audience will be this:
Thank you for supporting us over the past two years and making Mangastream your home away from home. It was a pleasure sharing our time with fans who were just as passionate and dedicated as we were.

Although MangaStream will no longer be hosting any of the Jump series, if it's something our fanbase is interested in, we're considering leveraging our connections to bring you accurate spoiler summaries for the Jump chapters as early as possible. We know this isn't much, but hope it can whet your appetite until the dozens of aggregators release the official Jump chapters on Wednesday.

Megaupload, wuload closed. Filesonic has announced the end of sharing and downloading. Now all internet users should pay for old stuff, for anything and for ****. As India is now the ally of the US in view of containing China and that there is the tendency for our Indian friends to follow all US policies, India and all our Indian friends in PDF must be happy.

end of free internet, end of free entertainment

This is ridiculous. The internet is an international system of cables that use TCP/IP to communicate, nothing more. If a country wanted to have "free internet", then they are free to build one. Or, like television, if you don't like a site or don't want to pay, don't go there.

It is inevitable that the internet would evolve into a mix of pay-for-content, and free content. There will always be free content if one looks for it. The only thing the "free internet" people need to be wary of is intellectual theft. For example, if a guy sets up a free entertainment site that uses Spiderman, then he can expect a nasty letter from the Marvel Comics people.

Most people in US that get letter's are noobs who dont know about seedboxes....get one based in NL/france/germany and not in US you wont get that letter ever-FTP from the server-no way for them to hunt you down .
