MAG is currently toothless against the biggest torrent site (nyaa.se) which is hosted in Canada where it isn't illegal to provide torrents. I'm a bit surprised they haven't managed to take down sites hosted in Netherlands (Mangastream.com and Mangafox.me) or in Turkey (mangareader.net) and that they aren't targeting scanlators at all as they are the source for manga on manga aggregator sites.

Fan-subbing to me is fine when you do it for unlicensed shows but the way things are currently are there is little regard for such things and more based on the preferences of the people doing it. Preferably shows should have a cool down period of 6 months before they are fansubbed if they are still unlicensed.

Same with scanlation, however the situation is more severe there as magazines leaks 4-5 days before sales date in Japan and are translated and posted online before you can even buy them in Japan.

Sure but the loses for fan translating a series released in 1987 would be minimal, it's better to focus on stopping translations of series hours after they have aired in Japan than decade old series.
