“Tachiyomi” closes its doors under the shadow of piracy and copyright infringement accusations!
For those who do not know, “Tachiyomi” is (or was) one of the most popular and praised by fans applications to read manga on Android, because thanks to its highly customizable interface and simplicity in managing your library became a favorite of otaku, in addition to accessing different manga through legal sources but at other times also from less legal sources. This week the team of developers have informed through the accounts in X before Twitter of those involved that they will stop giving support and updates to the application due to the most recent accusations of nothing more and nothing less than “Kakao Entertainment“.
These accusations by the South Korean company focused on “Tachiyomi violating copyrights and encouraging piracy through its app“, threatening the development team with legal action. This accusation, as reported by the team itself, has lowered the spirits and morale of those involved in the project who have had to see the painful folly of having to end the project, without first saying goodbye to the community of fans to whom they thanked for the support, donations and suggestions with which they contributed throughout the life of the application.
This news generated a lot of commotion and debate among fans of manga and “Tachiyomi”, as they considered that this was a basically vile and perverse maneuver by the Korean company, some even said that this was a tactic to “intimidate its competitors” and continue to maintain its position as one of the dominant companies in the market. Others also said that they would cancel their Kakao account in support of the platform, but a sector commented that this measure was coming, since the application also had illegal sources, so it was a matter of time before a publisher or distributor would put an eye on them.
Undoubtedly sad news for manga fans in general, as this was one of the best performing apps on Android, as it had an extensive variety of titles and updates. Tell us in the comments section what you think about this end for an application so beloved by fans, if you think there was another solution such as removing illegal sources, partnering with some distributors or if there was simply no way to reach a solution other than ceasing operations to avoid reaching issues and legal disputes.
