If you think about it, it's not that different from someone buying the magazine, and then lending it to all of their friends to read. Scanlating is that on a larger scale. Besides, I think we have the right to be just as up to date with the manga as people in Japan. The people reading it online probably aren't able to buy the magazine and don't want to wait. It's not like I can subscribe to a weekly Japanese magazine and get it in America at the same time it's published.
