ABOUT TRANSLATIONS AND REPOSTS
Added 2018-01-14 17:59:49 +0000 UTChey,
it has come to my attention that not only has someone taken #muted, translated and reposted it to a russian manga site without my permission, but another person just told me that they also took posts from my patreon to share them in a group.
which means it must be (have been?) one of my patrons. if the person responsible is still here and reads this, then - fuck you. delete your pledge, i don't want you here, and also i ask you to stop sharing my stuff without permission. take the stuff you already reposted down. stop treating other people's work like you own it, because you don't.
if this person has already deleted their pledge because they got what they were here for: great, please never come back.
to everyone who genuinely supports me: thank you, ily π and sorry for making you read this.

thank you for your statement to this situation! i'd like to make some things clear that don't only concern me and my work but other artists' work as well! just because things are posted publicly on the internet, doesn't mean they're free to use for everyone. i still hold the rights to my creations. you're supposed to at least /ask/ people for permission. i, personally, do not want my comic to be translated and posted anywhere. i don't want you to make me "more popular". please be aware that when you post your translation to your websites, that website gets the views and the traffic, i do not benefit from that. almost no one who reads the pages there will bother to check out the original creator, so in the end there's nothing to gain for me, who works hard on their art. also collecting money to gain access to someone's patreon and then sharing the content with an entire group is absolutely inexcusable. i am trying to live from my art, i have to pay bills and rent. one single pledge that benefits like 300 people is a big loss for me. thank you for asking the sites to take my comic down! and i apologise for my harsh language in the post up there, i was very irritated by this.

2018-01-14 21:35:11 +0000 UTCOh, this situation made me very sad. This is our team translate YOUR manga. Now I would like you all to clarify and explain the entire situation from beginning to end. First, we in no way wanted to violate your copyright, sorry for that. But we began to translate this comic after you posted it in the GENERAL access, this means that we could use it for translation. We noted your details(patreon) in our group in vk.com. Second, we sponsored a buying page. We didn't know that their dissemination can control only you. Well, thirdly, we have made you more popular, as we pointed out links to your SOC. network. We were not trying to cash in on this, please don't think so, we are very unpleasant. We coversely error, when we began to translate this comic. So we will do as you said: remove all the chapters that are translated. We have already sent for moderation request on another site. Thank you, hope for your understanding.
