This is not the same as money lost, because some portion of those pirate readers might not have been willing to pay even in the absence of piracy.
With that said, the unique positive approach is intriguing.
As I understand it, the pirated copies have unofficial translations... so it wouldn't have even possible for them to consume the media without the piracy in the first place.
