If there is no English translation, then what?

Then cop to what you are doing and stop making bullshit excuses about it.

There is that too. It's the excuses that bug me more. I went through a brief period of downloading comics. Specifically, Doctor Who. I think maybe three issues, using the excuse, "I'm too poor, I'm in college, and I don't know if I like it that much."

Three issues in, I decided if I didn't like it enough to pay money for it, I didn't need to read it.

I will say I miss the old Scans_Daily LJ (I know they're on DW now, just don't go there as much), but that was less of "let's download the whole comic" and more of a place to find great jumping-on issues and characters for buying more comics.

Which makes you ok.

And yeah, Scans_daily really did have that "like it? buy it!" culture. I miss them.

I can place the blame for my insanely expensive (well, for me) comic habit and collection squarely on S_D's shoulders. Before them, I picked up maybe two comics a month. Now...well, there's a couple-or-four longboxes sitting around right now, and a few shelves and... siiiigh. It's an addiction.

Eh, then yeah, I'll go for the gray area then. That's one of those things where I can legitimately understand the "I'd buy it if it were available" argument. Back in the day, my friends and I bought boatloads of Japanese-language manga, but hell, not everyone can teach themselves a whole freaking other language just to read their magical girl book (I know I couldn't).

It would be nice to also think, though that you would buy it legitimate when/if it came out, again, if only to show the publisher that there was enough interest in the series that it was worth their while to continue translating it.
