Viz's weekly shonen Jump comes out the same day (well street date, we get leaks) as it does in Japan at its $26 a year. The downside is it's mostly the popular series that get published and it's not available in all regions. Most of the out of control piracy is due to Japanese publishers inability to adapt to the changes of media and demand in the 21st century. This is what is happening to album sales in the United States and most music trends are actually tracked by streaming rather than physical and digital sales.
