Sadly, I don't have something better than this, but thanks to a userscript I run I have a correlation set up between series IDs and scanlator's websites/IRC channels, as well as the MU page for that scanlator. It's a pretty useful amount of data, although it would require some work to turn it into something very good.
I have anonymously posted it to PasteBin for posterity. Probably, this post will get deleted, in which case I'll just re-post it to /a/ and move on with my life.
Also, to the guys running MU: you're fools if you've been cowed into not posting the DMCA complaint. There's no legal reason why you would be prevented from doing so - legal documents like that are public domain by definition. Sounds like you were cowed by a SLAPP suit you could have shrugged off entirely. The DMCA doesn't permit vague takedown requests.
Anyway, here's the data: http://pastebin.com/xS5WHfX0

How do you know Crunchyroll is trying to kill this site?

I was going to make a similar suggestion to this list. If MU could export its list of scanlators and the URL of their websites, we could use that when we see something we want to check out. We just keep it on our PC and do a cut/paste op to go to the website. Hope the bosses see these ideas.

Crunchyroll is now a scanlator with it's releases posted here. That confirms it I guess.

Since when they are a scanlator?
They are a commercial license, if add them to the releases we might as well also put Seven Seas and other publishers releases since the only difference is one is digital.
What part of "Please do not put in huge images!" did you fail to understand?

I actually made a thread asking about this here: http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=44609&page=1

Is it because the latest chapter is free? Even so, it's not available to everyone around the world right? And if MU's posting releases of official digital licensers, shouldn't Emanga, Sublime and Viz's digital releases appear as well?
Very fishy that only Crunchyroll's appearing.
