I have read the FAQ and i was wondering if i could get permission to Create and maintain a couple torrents of the of your Releases of the Guyver series one in CBZ (Comic Book Readerformat) and one in unpacked format the CBZ format would be for Demonoid.com & the unpacked version for BakaBT.com. I will not create ANY torrents of your scanlation releases of this series without your Permission as i respect your Groups work too much. I just wanted to spread my love of the Guyver series with the rest of the world. If given permission i will give you full credit for the series scanlation in the Torrents Description and offer links to your group. Thanks for your time

Thanks Let ME know once you have the groups oppinion on the subject. i dont want to do this without the full groups support.

I have no problem with this. I think it is a good idea.

[Bio-Boosted Dude]

well it's only making guyver more accessible and easier to download in bulk, so i'd say it's a good idea

[Ryuki]

I'd like to bring up the issue of any edits and/or updates.

i was only planning on editing or updating when ever a new volume scanlation was released but if you rather me go the chapter route i can do that instead

that is an issue, but i don't think it would be that big a deal to download them in bulk, and if there is a small update in one volume, then anyone can just come back here and download the single volume again and replace it with what they got in the torrent.

[Toku Warrior]

Like BBD said, it would help out in spreading the Guyver. I say go for it but maybe, just in case, place a notepad document inside the torrent.

The doc should say how it's a fan translated piece and that we claim no rights or ownership of the original material manga and that all rights belong to the Guyvers' creator. I know that the ful translated volumes say this already but ti would be good to have as a backup in a torrent file.

I'm a pirate, so your asking the wrong person since my answer is obvious.

[durendal]

Kidding aside, with the current internet culture, with permission or not, if one wishes to distribute our renditions, there is nothing we can really do. So might as well give the green light and saves us the bitching and headache.

With regards to edits or updates, are we going to edit or update the existing tank scans? Aren't they supposed to be final? Just leave a note that those scans can be acquired in Japan Legend, since I don't think torrents will be alive forever. Besides, once more books are released, that torrent will be outdated, and will need creation of a new torrent to host the new books. In which case, should we have an update, we can simply indicate a version 2.0 for that book.

book 09 is currently undergoing surgery. it's slow surgery but it is being updated because the scans were bad.

i would like to note here that i believe our friend is planning on doing each tankoubon in a separate torrent file.

I'll voice my thoughts on this now.
I do agree that if anybody were to do this without our blessing we wouldn't be able to do much about it anyway.
I would not want to cause a fuss about it anyway since we don't own guyver so it would be somewhat hypocritical of us.
although, what i like to remember is that we make it clear on the guyver advocacy page that the person who is accessing it is a legal owner of the books. so officially, I would say that i cannot condone free distribution of our work without this kind of disclaimer.

if it were going to happen anyway, I would like to say, it would be preferable for the person who distributes it to include similar message to ensure that guyver is being supported as much as possible.
so if this kind of distribution were to occur in the spirit of guyver advocacy, then i would say i am ok with it.

in regards to the Torrent shape i was planning on Releasing a Torrent with ALL the Released Scanlations of the Tankobans you have posted and updating the torrent once you have released a new fully scanlated tankoban adding it to the torrent or if you have swapped out one for a better scan like you mentioned you are currently working on with 09. I will also Give each version a version Number as well.

I dont know if BakaBT will accept the torrent though because it doesnt contain the first 7 volumes making the torrent technically incomplete and the fact that the first 7 were Licensed and released by Viz. Plus the Series is still Ongoing which can also be an issue with them sometimes. That being Said i Shouldnt have ANY problems with the Demonoid Torrent

And I Plan on including a discalaimor documment like the one You and Toku Warrior Suggested. So i take it that i have your permission to make the torrent then. I wont make the torrent until i get confirmation as i have said i dont want to make it without your groups backing.

If you are going to do a torrent, I suggest at least putting a watermark on the images.

You can try out a freeware program called Watermark Image Program. It doesn't need to install into your system. It simply launches out of the application.

The reason I suggested the watermark is because of the more wide range of viewers who will stumble upon guyver. The Watermark is to help enforce the fan scanlation origin and to also notify anyone the that it is not to be sold. Too many profiteering ass's out there...

Edit: Added link to program. Just unzip and use.

they are already stamped on the bottom right. (except 21 and 24 which i'll remedy now)
i don't think extra watermark is necessary.

there is still somebody to give their opinion so please standby.
