"High prices". Anything over $0.00 is a "high price" to thieves.
"Long waiting periods". Publishing a book into English is not like waving a wand. I realize in this Internet Now generation we must have everything now, but the physical publishing of a title takes months. There is little that is going to change that, but it doesn't excuse stealing.

A company going bankrupt does NOT necessarily indicate that the INDUSTRY is going down the drain! Most of the time, it's because the business is dumb!
EDIT: MissMisa, I can't be bothered to reply to your rant up there, but are you really gonna stand there and say the Anime industry is TEENY?????????!?!?!?!!!! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? What world are you in?
