Guys... NPO shut down their stats site

No member of NPO or GPWC government shared any illegal manhwa scanlations. Nothing was scanned. The person who provided summaries of an unlicensed work did their research legally to make sure what they did fell under fair use. Alex unlawfully defamed NPO and GPWC members as being racketeers of manhwa that was copyrighted; this allegation is objectively false and libelous.

This statistics utility provided to P&W's community as part of our mission to promote a stable, safe, and thriving game environment has been permanently discontinued.

calling BS on that one

A work with no explicitly stated license is, automatically ( under the Berne Convention (which even flippin' North Korea is a signatory to)) under full copyright protection. It doesn't mean its in the public domain. 

Also, a lawyer would argue that a summary is a derivative work [1] in which case it doesn't come under fair use. A copyright owner has the exclusive right to create derivative works, unless such right is delegated, by explicitly specifying and / or writing a license.

 

[1] copyright law being what it is, I will not state that it is a derivative work even though I believe it to be

besides nobody would invest time and effort to get "summaries of an unlicensed work" when you could simply go elsewhere for illegal content.

I don't think the NPO defense is based on logic so explaining this to them is pointless. Their defense is based on pettiness and teenage hormones.

To whom it may concern, I do not represent The Immortals unless explicitly stated (ergo, never.)
<--- I hardly use the forums anymore, add me on discord.

There are 2 sheets, Dial Up War Stats, and Great Leak War Stats.

To the right of the numbers are Pie Diagrams

I didn't finish the Pie Diagrams for the Great Leak War.
