You know how the internet works, correct? No matter how many people release music CDs, there will be sources to send mp3s of every track released. Whenever there's an expensive application such as Photoshop, there have been torrents made to obtain them. I'm not saying it's the right thing to do, since we're obtaining costly things for free, but sometimes it's out of our reach, and in this case, the current One Piece manga is way out of our reach, since the English version is many many arcs behind.

I'm pretty sure once these scanlation sites will be taken down, they'll find a way to alleviate it. Perhaps someone will host a download site where they can have people download the scanned chapters, then delete them shortly. I'm not too worried, since the internet is massive and whenever people demand that free things get taken down, someone finds a method around it. I'm just going to be impatient. xD
