plenty of people make great music for free. Therefore, your argument is invalid, even if it was true that people downloading music for free would ruin the current "music industry"
The reason I read fan-translated scanlations of manga online, rather than buy them in the store.
1. The "officially" published manga is anywhere from months to years behind Japan, sometimes the entire series runs through before it is brought to the states. That is, the manga already exist, the publishers just decide to arbitrarily space out their release dates.
2. Some mangas are NEVER released in the US and so the only way to get to them is through fan translated scanlations.
3. Why should I pay publishers who take so long to translate manga when there are fans who will translate it for free?
"What they are saying is that they want everything. As many have pointed out here before (Hi PaulT) is that if the industry cannot deliver it to them on time, in the format they like at the price point they like, then they have absolutely no issue at all in pirating it."
yes, that is a great way to be! :D
It also helps sometimes to research the Hebrew culture surrounding the meaning of a verse to more fully understand what the original authors were talking about.
Ender's Game is a CLASSIC! it's what got me started in the sci-fi genre to begin with.
Even if books could somehow be thought of as "pornographic", I've read way way worse books from my middle-school library.
Also, Ender's Game was the best, the sequels were kinda meh, and then Ender's Shadow and it's sequels were Amazing!

anyway, can babies really understand such complex concepts beyond things like "I want mommy" "I want food"?
