Here is my problem with "manga piracy".
No one is buying pirated manga. What people are doing are reading manga online that has been translated by 3rd party translaters, BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE HAS TRANSLATED THEM.
When it's a no-name manga that the western world doesn't know about, no one gives a shit about copyright for that manga, because no one is really reading it except. But when hundreds of thousands of people are suddenly interested in that manga, because it's been translated into english by 3rd party translators, suddenly it's popular.
There is one company that goes around and, only after a manga / manwha becomes popular due to scanlators, buys up the license and then sends a C&D to the translator. Then the translator stops translating them and the shitty company puts the manga behind a paywall and uses machine translation for the translation after that point and uses the original translators translations for the old stuff.
Now the readers are all fucked because their manga was dropped and the only way to read shitty machine-translations is behind a paywall.
