Manga artists do NOT make a lot of money. They make less than most normal jobs, and often have to scrape by with other part time jobs. By not paying for the manga you read, you actually raise the chances of that manga you want to keep up with being ended.

If you have bills to pay and cannot afford to buy manga - you simply do not have to read manga. If you are suffering so much through the economic crisis - try looking for ways to save or make money rather than whining about it and stealing stuff.

The levels of piracy and the like actually rise when people have more money. Why? Because more people tend to have access to the net so take advantage of it. Paying the bills has absolutely nothing to do with it. You`re making excuses to try to justify the fact that you`re stealing someone else`s hard work, and making it harder for THEM to pay their bills.

But hey, no one matters but yourself right? As long as YOU don`t have to pay, and as long as you are the "victim" of the economic crisis, everything is alright!

That`s called selfishness where I`m from.
Thank you.

I hope everyone reading this thread reads and understands this.
