A lot of people would have noticed it by now. The amount that scanlation groups release dropped a lot lately. The coming of the simulpub is a good thing, however I hope the groups wouldn't drop my favorite manga's.
The future isn't looking so good on the moment. As Japan is planning to do something about the piracy of manga and anime. They've even made a list of the sites that they want to put down: http://www.meti.go.jp/policy/mono_info_service/contents/downl oadfiles/140414.pdf

(Has someone this research in English?)

No one knows what will happen in the future, but I can only say that I'm worried. Their are sites in the list that I use daily (examples: Mangastream, mediafire, nyaa, etc.)

You can notice that some of those sites were put under pressure:
- crazymanga goes to shut down
- Mangatraders shut down (I don't think it was a hacker, but rather some serious DMCA claim.)
- A lot of groups were shut down or seriously crippled

So is someone else that knows more information about this?
