DMP 1000 + Manga online using scanlators

[reader17]

While doing my daily check on AnimeNews for updates I saw that DMP is looking for scanlation groups to help bring 1000 + manga online digitally and legal. I had read this recently over at Yaoi review. Now I have found it on AnimeNews. It looks like it is mainly going to BL stories first. If a title performs well it will put the book in print.

What do you think? Could this be good for scanlation groups? or will we be able to get more BL manga legal and cheaper then we do know?

Yeah I am curious how it will all work. I appreciate all of the groups that provide scans and I can tell some do not play nice with others. But maybe if they are all in one spot and getting money they will be better.

I am not sure if they are going to contact the groups or have the groups contact them. I have to agree I can see plus's all around and the negative. But at least it would be a start to get the stories out and be legal and not have to worry about someone coming after the groups.

I am waiting to see how this all plays out in the next few years.
