Hakuouki doujinshi

I suppose I really am too nice. And naive.
I should have probably made this community members only with restricted membership and only give access to doujinshi downloads to the people that commented on my first post of the OkiSai doujin.

So, what happened?
I entered the word "hasunoha" in Google and on the first page I got this:
http://i56.tinypic.com/25fsg3t.jpg
And also, this:
clover74321.exteen.com/20101030/hakuouki

I downloaded the first file and wow, the credit page (stating the no-resharing policy) has been removed too.
I don't much care about people being asshats, though. The issue is that they are stupid.
I repeated ad nauseam that Japanese artists don't want their doujinshi to be put online, and they also know how to use Google (such amazing surprise!), but it seems these guys are so mentally challenged that they still don't grasp the concept that reposting doujinshi on public sites means that the artists will eventually find it, get angry, close their sites and/or stop making doujinshi.
It's really sad when stupid people ruin the fun for everyone.

I don't want to indirectly contribute to artists stopping their activity, so from now on I'm not going to bother scanning doujinshi for Hakuouki anymore.

Regarding rescanlations

Since I keep getting requests, I thought I should make a post about it.

Please do not rescanlate my doujinshi scanlations into other languages.

I only post doujinshi scanlations in this community (with posts member locked in 2 days) and Aarinfantasy (members only).
I don't want to see them reposted anywhere else.

Japanese artists don't like their offline work to be posted on the internet. If they find out their doujinshi has been put online they are not going to appreciate it. They're most likely going to feel uneasy and they might even decide to stop their activity.

Doujinshi are hard to get for people who live outside of Japan though, so I personally appreciate it when people share their scans.
I think that as long as doujinshi are shared on members only communities while keeping a low profile, it should be fine.

At any rate, please don't repost the doujinshi I've shared anywhere.
If I see them reposted anywhere, I will stop sharing scans.

I don't want to anger the artists and I don't want to ruin it for the fans who buy their work.
