making liscenced manga available can result in lawsuit action from US companies, which will actually do it sometimes. there are no US companies to bring about lawsuit action on un-liscenced manga/anime, but the original creators have the option to, however since most of the time scanslating/subbing ups the popularity of it worldwide, it usually turns into a profit, and that makes companies happy. and it costs more to sue someone across borders..... i think or maybe it's more paperwork.... which ends up costing more in lawyer-iffic fees. since there's such a proliferation of US lawyers, they'll usually do it for cheap since they need money for baby's new shoes.
of course i could just be making a mockery of everything.
