Question about scanlations

[Kanerou]

Are they illegal? And is there anywhere I can read about whether they are? No offense; it's just that some radio guy once told me recording off the radio was illegal, and after dumping many recorded tapes years later, I found out it wasn't, so I'm kinda skeptical.

OK.... from what I've seen, they are. I'll leave it at that.

With your own conclusion reached, I'm locking this before we get into some nasty debates on the subject.
