Piracy is a service problem

Japan clearly doesn't understand they need to make a Steam for manga.

Give me something that's not worse than pirate sites and I'll throw money at you. Crunchyroll was great for that few months when it went legit before it enshat.

I should never be in awe at the quality of the pirate sites over the liegit services.

In general, yes, but in this case I don't think there's any way for the service to beat piracy even if the service was just as good (which it isn't). Take the One Piece manga, for example. A lot of people read it from illegitimate sources simply because they can manage to release it two to three days earlier than the official every week. You can read it for free online in your local language once the magazine reach the shelves in Japan, but even that is too late because the contents gets leaked while all the partners are preparing for that simultaneous release.

"No, because *proceeds to explain the definition of a service problem *"

My guy if they export only some mangas and animes, much slower, and with lower quality than pirates, then shoot the characters with the american ray; why should i pay them instead of having a superior and closer to original experience?

I'm already paying for HDDs and other hardware for my home media library, I'd rather pay for a service and save my time, but they won't do it right.

In this case I'd say it's more of a "I'd need a bookcase specifically for that 1000+ manga"
