But it's nevertheless stealing, right? Despite the logistics, there isn't a difference between 200 and a million. Manga piracy will still be here after OM dies.

Here are two solutions I can think of:
1) Make a paypal donation slot on the mangaka's website or blog.
2) Make a gigantic online manga website like BestAnime (South Korean anime manga website) that you have to pay for what you read.
