The guy is clearly bent out of shape and didn't need to respond in such a way, but there are a few points that his tirade brings up that I don't necessarily disagree with. He's right, they will continue to get posted on VK, PH, reddit, etc. And even a quick look shows that they exist for free online so it will be a never ending battle for you. The frequency of remakes, compilations, and compilations of compilations is frustrating to a user that sees new content almost daily elsewhere. I get why you're doing it, but that doesn't make it any less tiresome. Finally, maybe the idea of the creator throwing out some free classics isn't such a bad idea. They'll find their way onto sites that currently ban your content (omorashi.org comes to mind) and could very well boost your user base and sales. Since you're so against taking the time to do any advertising yourself, this free shared format may be more suitable to your tastes.
