It will only make people move to other manga sites. It will target those few people who at least did a decent job in scanning and translation.
Besides, what do they expect people to do? Order Shounen Jump from Japan and use google translate? Or should I wait a year just to buy a horrible Finnish-translated bleach book? Can you really say it hurts their business because if it wouldn't be for internet, I wouldn't be reading bleach at all.
Once again, it seems like you didn't read the news completely. Jump took down manga stream's scanlations because they're doing a weekly online e-zine, with the translations of the typical popular manga. Problem is, they'll still be about 3 weeks behind.
