Now that's just silly.

While I agree with MMM I see an exception if we're talking about scanlating somewhat older works that failed to get a western release, likely never will and there's no other way to present them to a western audience. Yes, I realize it's still illegal and that it'd also be unfair toward the japanese audience who'd still have to pay for it but in this case, if someone was willing to translate them for free (For whatever reason...) I'd be fine with it. It's not like they'd take away potential money.
Though I guess this wasn't the case with One Manga and they hunted down the newest releases before anyone could have officially licensed them.
But in the end, I don't know either way. Never heard of the site before. I guess they also put official english releases online?
