1, I never read manga online, with the exception of Read or Die, LS: Pocket Travelers, and SSiB. Basically, I avoid the "big" stuff.
2. Anime can't be suppressed. Manga involves scanlations, uploading each page, it's a pain. Anime is a simple rip, sub, and upload. There are too many people willing to do it, because it's too easy.

bwuh? where did this come from? BangZoom's complaint about the anime industry or something?
Manga isn't really hurting the industry, mostly because people would rather buy something they can read in their hands. As far as the anime part goes, i think their just blaming the lack of
good dubs on the fansubbers. It's the argument that because you watched this downloaded at some point, you're taking away from the money we gain. or something like that. I have a tendency to only buy DVDs if the dub is also good, unless i love the series enough to go out and buy the DVDs anyways.
That means if Funimation could just, you know, redistribute Cardcaptor Sakura from Geneon? Please?
btw Fate/Stay night dub is really nice. though they could have done without editing Archer's UBW incantation :/ being said, Geneon is probably my most respected dubbing company of the bunch.
also as an FYI, scanning also involves removing the binding, which means ruining the magazine/tankobon permanently.
