An alternative would be joining the mangaupdates community, making a list and when the mangas on your list update, you'll be able to hop onto the scanlator site and read it there.

wait are they targeting manhwa as well?

First part describes how there are 5 types of these illegal sites, most of which get revenue from ads and occasionally membership.
It also includes examples of such sites and their countries:
mangafox from US
NyaaNyaa Torents from Japan
Some site from China,

just to name a few instances

Read to page 24, (skipped a lot though) which describes how most of the recognized illegal businesses (upload and downloading intellectual property from the anime and manga industry) are in Japan, China, US, and Korea.
Based on history, this anti-piracy counter measure would only substantially limit piracy in Japan i.e.
-NyaaNyaa torrents
-Tokyo Toshokan
-Ryu Share
etc.
Or else the owners of those sites might face similar troubles to [url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/20/kim-dotcom-megaupload-founder_n_1218693.html]Kim Dotcom of Mega Upload[/url]
It is highly unlikely, that the Chinese, Korean, and US government would do much against such sites and organizations.
Even one US movie director said that for China:[i] you just have to suck it up[/i][/quote]

Nyaa, TT and Ryushare aren't based in Japan.
I'm not sure how they got the info for Nyaa and TT, because those are hosted in Sweden.

Doesn't concern us.
