Culturally, Japanese are not interested in fake brand name items or illegal downloading. You will find fake bags in Korea or China, but it is much harder to find it in Japan. I think the same is true of manga. People want to "own" the title, and if they really just want to read it to pass the time, then borrow from a friend or read it at a manga/Internet cafe.
