While that may be true, I figure that pirating encourages people who would otherwise pay for a movie, manga volume, etc. to just read it for free - so many people don't understand that creators NEED money (and financial popularity) in order to keep producing content. Hell, unlike a lot of scan groups, Mangapanda doesn't even ask readers to support the creator by buying volumes and stuff: they just translate and watermark.
