User blog comment:Tinni/Onemanga will no longer host manga/@comment-1268838-20100724080740

Sad thing is, as far as I know, manga hosting has been illegal to begin with. As we all know, it is essentially putting the artist/publisher's work on the internet where millions of people could see it without reading it. That of course, means that they could potentially lose money - a lot of it. I'm pretty sure that a lot of it has to do with localization issues. If a company localizes the manga in a certain territory (ie Viz in the US with a lot of Jump manga), they own the rights to it within those boundaries. OneManga of course, pretty much stomps all over their business.
