It's just a matter of days, really. You will have people resorting to imageboards (requests) and, belive me, people will get what they want.
But indeed, if scanlation was a city, it's now a neighborhood.

And they did it for free. And they will continue to do it underground (like mentioned above). Or any other "average Joe" with free time and in need of E-ego.

Not on this forum.
But I will give you a hint: How do you host pictures?
Internet needs a reform on image hosting. For copyright infringement it would be easy to create a program (like Reverse Image along with a Pixel Scalor for size purpose) to identify and erase the images that contains the same pixelized padrons of the scanlated mangas. (You would have to make the mangas digital in the first place)
Just food for thought. Can go into deep thinking depending on the answers.
Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like.
