There is a trend currently were fan translaters are paywalling the latest chapters, with poor translations. What are your thoughts on this? I don't mind asking for donations, but asking for money with mediocre translation is scammy.

People also shouldn't just be able to make money off of other people's creations without limits.

IMO, ideally we would implement a system of 'open licensing' where people could freely use others IP as long as they pay a public, standardized percent of revenue based on the usage.

    as long as they pay

    To who?

    To the IP licensors? Nah. Pass. Prefer piracy.

    To the creators? Arguably much better.

    How to control intermediaries in those cases?

    Also payment processor information usually requires KYC crap and puts people in lots of danger of fire from trigger-happy companies (or governments).
