I'm all for mangakas getting paid properly, but isn't this just down to the companies and their vanity? Literally ever manga accrued their international audience via piracy.

Hint: It's not about more money for mangakas, animators, and other creatives.

I guess they figure they have enough people watching anime and reading manga legitimately now that they don't need piracy to spread the word anymore.

I don't know about that; lots of people read using official methods now. Of course, that's probably just because most of the biggest titles can be read for free legally these days.

Well then they'd better pay our marketing fee. You can't have it both ways.
