CPM is having issues…

Central Park Media, when it comes to manga has always kind of sucked. They’ve published some decent titles… Well, the first 2-3 volumes of a title and then stop (Full House & Couple to name a couple). They were having problems with shoujo titles and now it seems they are having issues with BL titles. The other I think was internal garbage, this is copyright violations. The charge comes from B-Boy magazine. Here’s the translation from b-boy’s site.

“About the translation publication from the Central Park Media corporation Usually you regularly reading our company publication, thank you truly. Well, at our company, trust is received from each teachers, the business which permits the translation publication of our company publication vis-a-vis the publisher of the foreign country, is done. This each time, in the United States of America, the Central Park Media corporation (label name: Be Beautiful) The empty, translation edition of several works is published, or it seems that becomes publication schedule. But, these translation editions are the illegal publication which does not obtain the permission of our company. It is the circumstance where also the teachers who have met to damage have been bothered very much. That the publication of this kind of illegal translation edition is discontinued vis-a-vis the same company, we protest strongly from our company. Being placed on everyone of the reader, as for purchase of this kind of illegal translation edition the refrainment we would like to receive, ask. リブレ publication corporation”

I think CPM has gone beyond lame. I’m going to avoid buying ANY of their products, not just BL titles. ~Sigh ~
