Well gents, it appears that Ido did not take too kindly to the reupload of their books on this website. Unfortunately, this was the only way that an english-speaker such as myself could access his content. What are we to do, moving forward? His books are on Sadpanda, but I do not know if whoever was kind enough to dutifully translate this content would be willing to continue their work on such a website.

What to do? Why, restrict ourselves to whatever he publicly posts on nicoseiga, pixiv, or Twitter, of course. I for one have no wish to deprive an author of their rightful revenue, and so long as a book is released only as paid content, such it should remain unless and until the author deems otherwise.
Obviously, this site can only police itself. But let us do so.

Ya reap what you sow. Considering that we know he's at the very least a lurker here, this was pretty much inevitable. This trope pretty much sums it up IMO.

^ I do believe I mentioned previously that he sometimes uploads his print books after enough time has passed. I have no idea whether he will continue to have any incentive to do so, though.
We should be grateful that the doujin was the only thing removed. Some artists get upset enough, they have everything of theirs removed. Let's learn from this and move on.
I feel like this is a treat, don't upload illegaly or Tashkent to you. Having said that I can't read japanese to save my life so I am not reading these doshinjis

Agree. I also hope the culprit learns to respect other people's works and credit them with a mention (and URL) like 99% of fan made NicoNico videos. There are proper ways to thank loaned artworks.
There could be a nice joke of something based on this later between her and Iowa if Ido wasn't likely legitamtely upset.
Has anyone offered Ido an apology? He certainly deserves one, ideally from whoever uploaded the e-hentai bootleg or from site admins or both. As far as I can tell, we'd had pretty good relations with him up until that, and I'd hate to sour that because someone got impatient.
Knowing the likes of him and what doujin creators go through, he probably had encountered something even worse than this that this is just extremely minor in comparison. Barring any official written message in the vernacular from him to this place, let's assume bygones are bygones and be more mindful of what gets uploaded.

Doujins don't (and cannot) make (much of) a profit - that's how the companies continue to allow them to continue existing (and that it's a nice place for new artists to hone their craft); all (non-original) doujinshi are illegal under Japanese law, and the rights holders are 100% within their rights to demand that doujins not get made (as happened, IIRC, with Gridman - the tokusatsu side was vehemently against it, especially ero ones.)

I'm not a fan of sadpanda, so I'd never put anything up there.

I have, and I will also do so next time I see him in person.
I'm not sure of what's happening; but would point out that for non-Japanese readers [ which certainly in no way only equates to European speakers ] there's no point in following or buying these works from Japan.
I accept the artists may not care about this and just want to make sure world readers are not exploiting them *; but conversely, this is going to happen one way or another.
Although not liking pictures with the tag 'blood' any more than incidents in real life, I like Ido a lot. He somewhat exploits non-Japanese world nationalities himself. More power to him !

Well, maybe they wouldn't care about a hard-translated work, but since these are soft translated, a Japanese speaker can read these for free instead of paying for the work, although very few are likely to care about Danbooru.

IIRC what is uploaded here gets mirrored in other boorus automatically for some reason. And are there boorus that mirror content here and are specifically designed for Japanese consumption?
Plenty of Japanese people use here (and gelbooru, and maybe sankaku) because of the vastly superior tagging system - not only because you can search for more tags than pixiv lets you, but for the depth of tags; if, say, an artist was looking for a reference, danbo is much easier to find something that fits, really.
