When you read scans of licenced material online it's the same as downloading a movie or a music CD without paying for it. A lot of people put a lot of work to bring great manga out of Japan, and sites like those hurt those efforts.
Food for thought.

No ofense but i'm not american, and like me there are lots of people who dont get access to manga, here is very hard to find it.
I buy what i can even if i've read it on the internet, so i'm truly not causing any harm.
Actually i will buy it faster if i know its good (because iv read it on internet, or at least some chapters).
"Sites like those" dont hurt anyone, people who dont recognise the work of the ones that make the manga (by using those sites instead of buying the manga) do!!
Besides theres no way reading on a site is as satisfying as reading from a book with the paper textures and the smell and all that!
