   But people pay for stuff through iTunes, thats where the profit comes...   
   and thats the difference between downloading manga for free!

   Much as I don't want to side with Starcade (judging by his previous   
   rants about "child" porn in manga, it sounds like he would prefer to see   
   the artists executed at dawn by firing squad... or something), I think   
   he was talking in general, and even then, only suggested you justified,   
   not participated in theft of manga.   
      
   The fact remains however, that no matter how well intentioned these   
   servers are, if they allow the unlicensed download of copyrighted manga,   
   they are breaking international copyright law.  And no amount of arguing   
   will change that fact!

   Potentially a good suggestion.  Have you tried contacting the publishers   
   there directly?  Serious question!

   No kidding, Lorenzo called off his trip to visit Mexico City just   
   because they told him the conquistadores were extinct.
