Well if they start translating more manga and bringing it to local bookstores so that way there's more than those vapid and not really intresting shojo mangas then they wouldn't have this problem in the first place. Furthermore scanlation sites shouldn't even translate the entire thing if it exists in america fully translated already. They should only give samples of it, like 1 chapter or one volume, so that way we can decide if we want to buy it or not because there are mangas I wish I never bought, ie. Gintama, Scrap Princess, Peace Maker, Dears, and a few others.
In fact they could use the sites to advertise or even sell the manga. Scalation sites should also have a price for downloading the manga and some of the proceeds should go to the creators of the manga they download. But the way that both ends are going is beneficial to no one.
There's a demand for manga but the companies aren't providing the supply so therefore people are forced use scanlation sites which not only provide the supply they reqiure no profit which means the companies lose money dispite the fact that they don't have a supply to give to lose money in the first place. So because some of the companies are losing money they are boycotting theses sites and forcing them to shut down, but chances are this is going to happen again because they'll probably still provide no suppy and call for the demand of non profit scanlation sites to provide the non existant supply and the consumer would much rather read it on a computer screen for free instead of paying for the offcial release, if there is one, no matter how many times said sites beg them to buy it. It's a vicious no win cycle because both organizations are made to not work together harmoniously like other relationships between internet media and what said media is showing you.
Take the Nostalgia Critic for example, he reviews really old and really bad movies for no profit other than the donations he recieves. However he gives credit to people who made the films so that way the companies who made the horrible movies get more dinero and pubicity because the people watch the reviews want to buy the movies to actually see how horrible it is and show their friends. That's why Fox, Warner Bros, and other networks like him because he is actually supplying a demand for thier excess suppy, or at least they get more publicity/ratings whatever works.
On an somewhat unrelated note one independant director is actually trying to sue the Nostalgia Critic saying he can't show his image on his site, which isn't illegal and he's only suing him because his feelings got hurt because the Nostagia Critic said his movie was bad. It makes no sense because his movie was probably bad and now people want to see it. But Nostalgia Critc took down the image because he's nice and likes to fight fire with fire. The independant director is going to be premoting a comedy short at Comicon and he hopes to get a contract with Comedy Central for it. Nostalgia Critic is also going to be there to boycott the short with a few of his friends, so chances are if this works the director is going to lose a huge amount money because he was dumb enough to try to sue someone without a concret reason.
In conclusion I find this complaint to be stupid because these guys aren't doing anything to satisfy the consumers demand but I understand why scanlation sites shouldn't be continuing the way now because they are hurting these companies even more than the companies are hurting themselves.
