The webmaster of Manga Village was released on parole and received a lot of inquiries on how to build a pirated comics website

In 2019, Manga Village, the largest pirated comics site at the time, was investigated and punished, which caused a sensation in the comics industry. It has been nearly three years since then. The site owner Hoshino Michimi, who was sentenced to three years in prison that year, was finally released on parole recently. Japanese media has brought us the latest interview. Let's take a look.

Although Hoshino Michimi's prison term is almost over, bigger troubles are still waiting for him. Currently, several large Japanese manga publishers, including Shogakukan, plan to sue him and demand compensation of up to 1.9 billion yen.

· When talking about the current state of the industry, Michiko Hoshino said that whenever publishers come up with countermeasures against piracy, pirates will immediately come up with more countermeasures, and it will be impossible to completely eliminate piracy in the future.

In addition, I have recently received a lot of consultation information from Twitter, including high school students, college students and other types of netizens, who hope to ask for advice on how to build a website similar to Manga Village. I can only give no advice.
