Go, Read: French Publishing Perspective On Manga Sales And Scanlation Sites

I'm not sure that every statement made in this article at the French-language comics news clearinghouse ActuaBD.com regarding the effect of scanned comics would be my own, or at least not with the same level of certainty, but a few ideas popped out at me. The first is the article's description of a drop in sales in manga in Europe, which doesn't seem near as significant as the drop in the US but is I guess enough that publishers are concerned. The second is that the history of efforts against scanned comics eventually stops being European-specific and starts being international. The third is that the move to digital media by the publishers themselves may have led them into a stronger stance against digital appropriation of the works they control.
