Not sure if you belong to the one group but it is one of the things they are asking members to post for others to beware of what CI Yaoi is doing. Especially since the post they showed has CI Yaoi group asking people if they would give them the stories from the locked down groups.
I have always tried to follow the rules because I love to read the stories and all of the scanalation teams do all of the work, they buy the books (or find the material), and they scan, clean, translate and share them. I appreciate all of the hard work and time they put in and I am happy to follow whatever rules they say. I am always double checking before I post a story to see if someone changed the rules or if it was licensed so I don't share it.
Yep it does seem that it used to be friendlier when I first started reading back in 2007. I think the C&D letters got most of the teams worried and they either made the rules stricter or the teams just disbanded and didn't want to get in trouble. I had heard from someone that DMG was going after groups. Not sure I like them going after groups, they should only ask if something is licensed that the group remove it from their sites. I don't think there is any reason that DMG should be told what the scan groups are doing.
