Hello! Not tryna be mean and sorry for the weird question ,but do cleaners ,typesetters and redrawers have a "salary" or is it a non profit scanlation group?
Hi! No worries. But all scanlation groups are supposed to be non-profit since we’re not actually doing this in an official manner, so making money from this would be considered illegal. (well, illegal-er)
Some groups would set up donation buttons to help them buy actual copies to support the artists and/or to help with keeping up their websites.
And I can’t exactly speak for all groups, but LatteScans ourselves are doing this just for fun as a hobby, and to improve our Japanese skills (so RL will sometimes interferes). Plus we have received a lot from the community all this time, so we also want to contribute to something that we like. Σd(≧w≦ )
