You know what a scanlation is, right?

It's where the manga is still only available in Japanese, so someone buys a copy, scans the pages onto their computer, and then replaces the text with the English translations, then uploads the translated pages onto the internet.

As far as the law is concerned, that is considered pirating because someone is taking something that you have to buy and putting it up on the internet for everyone to use for free. That's why it's illegal.
