What is the general term on the interney for scanned in anime/manga comics or books? If you say piracy, your being an arse. Another thing; this post, which only asks for a term, is not against forum rules. Thanks to anybody out there that can help.

The term is scanslation.

And so long as you're looking for unlicensed manga, you're fine. It's when a manga is licensed that it becomes piracy.
