    Not to mention that the nine cauldron and star rank hunter are more than halfway. If they DMCA them now then how will qidian get fully translated novels for stealing.

    What rule did they break?
    Because they didn't break any rule.

    I mean, sure, they have tons of drama on their heads, but there is no reason to ban someone from NU if they didn't break NU rules.

    WARNING: this is a sponsored reply

    if anyone think a few minutes on what really happened, there is no QI employee involved.

    2 people speak for QI are: a translator steal the translation, an translation group leader who allow the stealling

    remember translator works as contractor under QI, QI hold no responsible for translator's misbehavior

    in fact, QI just need to abort the contract, keep their work, don't pay anything, and even sue the translator for loses

    another big WIN for QI, congratulations!

    There IS an employee involved,and you know that,they don't allow stealing,they just agreed to give up the novel on the premise that it'll be translated anew. And there's a big differences between this and that. QI loves to blame everyone but themselves + everyone knows that they admitted stealing. They'll still have to pay for terminating the contract,just so you know. And it's quite a large sum that is usually discussed in the beginning of the contract(for both sides). They also can't sue the translators because they've paid them for translation
    P.S. So just stop saying shit even if it's paid for

    They own the translating right not the translation.

    Put it this way, they are a company that own a recipe but the food cooked by the chef is own by the chef

    The translated chapters didn't belong to them. It became a different product which belongs to the original translator

    If chapters were really posted without permission, well, supporting usage of unauthorized material doesn't sound very neutral to me.

    There no rules about usage of of unauthorized material? (if that is the case)

    You misunderstood, mate. NU is neutral and by neutral, it mean NU responsible for listing the novel and link to the chapters. NU don't have the authority or obligation to sort out issues between translators or authors. NU is just a site that gather those link like google (except only for novels, why do you think pirate game sites still pop up in google search even though it is illegal?)
    @Parth37955, can you confirm whether i am right? Because this is my guess from lurking

    So, why aggregator sites are not listed on NU, for example? As you said, NU should not have authority or obligation to sort out issues between parties.

    Translators register on NUF,and they post only one link for the chapter,so as to lessen our problems

    That is quite simple, my good lad! Those aggregator sites didn't register (I think they are not that thick-skinned enough to face mass protest from the nuffies here) on NU! :D just check in your profile setting, they have the option called " add translation" or release or sth. :v
    Good question, by the way

    People seem to have a misunderstanding here, NU doesn't allow/disallow releases by site, they do it by chapter.

    If a release does not meet NU's criteria, it is not listed on the site. It's that simple.
