Over 700 Manga Erased by DMCA Takedown on Popular Piracy Site
MangaDex, one of the internet's largest manga scanlation and piracy platforms, has been hit by a sweeping DMCA takedown request. The availability of over 700 manga titles has been affected on the website.
Popular manga series -- including the likes of The Apothecary Diaries, Akira, Bleach, Dragon Ball, Inuyasha, My Dress-Up Darling, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and many more were among the list of titles that users on Reddit have reported to be taken down due to the DMCA requests. The website, which is considered a nonprofit aggregate offering translations of manga, manhwa and manhua, features content that is usually uploaded in an unofficial capacity via fan translations (scanlations), making it a common target for copyright takedowns.
