    Hi, Earth Dragon -

    Thanks for asking about this - many people do not even bother!

    In general, as long as you are not using this material for commercial purposes, you're OK.

    Best regards,

    Mike

    I was wondering if putting scans of "Angelic Layer" on
    a website for download is legal

    it would not be for making money off of, unlike sites
    out there

    also, would i get sued?????

    just wanna make sure and stuff since i don't know the laws

 Wow, I'm surprised they don't really care. I don't see why he would ask tokyopop though since Dark Horse Comics were the one to localize/publish it here  .
