Hahahahaahahaha... o wait, you are serious... LET ME LAUGH A LITTLE LOUDER HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA jk, but seriously, Mangafox (as an example) get money out of other people works since before time, even tough scanlations are pretty decent since most of them do it for free and with no gain, they still give no profit to the Mangaka. Most online readers take that scanlations with out permission (or even worst, after they where specifically asked not to) and make a cash out of it. if you feel bad, you should only download from the scanlation web, or read there since most places have readers, and buy the works of your favourites mangakas after they are available in your language.
