Kakao nuked the official Tachiyomi Extension repo because they “infringe on their copyright”.
The Extension repo does not and never has offered copyrighted material, it merely facilitated access to sites that do within Tachiyomi. Essentially it was a collection of hyper specific Browsers. The repo is gone, the extensions are not (they are now in a different repo provided by a user). Tachiyomi itself allows for 3rd party repos now and everyone is mad at Kakao for making the App less usable.
Korean company went after a manga reader type app with some sketch DCMA claims. Now they’ve saying they’re going to pursue legal action against 100 forks of the app.
Corpos being fuckwits and going after open source software that can be used to pirate manga/manwha/etc
Anyone have any context here? No idea what I’m looking at
