Since we had a thread about Tachiyomi removing extentions I thought this might also be relevant.

Picture version

Text version:

Tachiyomi, under the guise of ‘legitimate’ open-source development, has been seriously infringing on the copyright of manhwas worldwide.

We have collected personal details of most individuals involved in this project and plan to proceed with strong legal and institutional response against over 100 forked GitHub pages.

For the official English versions of KakaoPage/Kakao Webtoon, please enjoy them on Tapas!

Be Official, Be Legal Readers.

Not sure how many contributors were involved in Tachiyomi itself but it looks like they’ll be aiming for any forked projects as well.

Time to break out GitHub’s developer defense fund?

    Yeah, it’s something many people predicted as soon as news of removing extensions came out. I don’t know about the main Tachiyomi team but I hope at least some of the affected contributors decides to defend themselves - otherwise we’ll see more frivolous lawsuits like this.
