Since certain people don't seem to get this I'm going to explain in an object lesson.

Lots of people in this Generation like Call of Duty (I don't know why, but that's beside the point).

Let's say there is a new call of Duty game coming out on October 1, 2014. You set your preorder at GameStop, because that's what people do nowadays. You get your copy on October 1st when you go in to pick it up.

But wait, the game is shipped to Gamestop so they have it on the shelves by September 23rd let's say.

Manager Jon Von Slypants decides to make copies of this game and distribute it on the internet as a torrent/whatever for free on September 24th.

20,000 people or so download it and are playing the new call of duty game a week before its release.

This is what has been happening for a long time now with Shonen Jump. You have been privileged to read an illegal copy that was taken by an inside source, scanned and translated 1 week before the native audience legitimately buys and gets to read it.

That is not the case anymore. Now you get to read it for free after it has been released, when one of millions of people do the same thing and scan it and someone translates and posts it at a later date after the official release.

You will adapt, it is the nature of the human race.
