    I think it's about time for someone to make a site hosting pirated chapters of english novels (translated from chinese). By chapters I mean patreon exclusive chapters.

    Oh, you think it's wrong? Now why would you think that. Chinese novels piracy was always a thing. It's about time for English novels piracy to be a thing too.

    And in reality. We're all already pirates. Since the novel we read aren't actually helping the author. As well as some translators not even buying the actual chinese novel, and using a pirated copy of the novel to do their translations instead.

    Already exist, and you don't even need to subscribe to things like patreon to use it. It works the same as how you read manga online, chapter by chapter.

    we can do that because they're chinese novels. English novels are an entirely different animal, and there are already sites that host english novels that you'd normally have to buy. They just usually get taken down alot

    I won't argue the law but there is an argument to be made against you.

    The novels we read here are translated and in most cases not available to purchase in our native tongue. These 'fan' translations are our only way to read these novels until they are officially translated.
    This is very different from pirating a English novel for English readers.

    Many of the novels we read now do in fact support the author through buying licenses or how the TMW team actually sends money to the author and made a guide on how to submit monthly tickets to support him.

    Op should know better than that. People can't handle the truth. I was raised Catholic so I already know everyone was born a sinner.

    Law and mathematics are not the same, while in mathematics two negatives can give a positive, that's not how it works wih law. Your argument is heavily flawed, just because it's being done with some chinese novels, does not suddenly make it either morally justifiable or right to do so with english novels. To me it sounds more like you're someone unwilling to pay for it, and for some reason feel justified in doing so, so let's be clear here, piracy is not justifiable. Done it's no further than that, you may choose to do so anyway, but that does in no way make it ''right''.

    There was many I wanted to say, but then I remember. You can't cure stupidity in a day.

    I was here before this got locked.
