If all the free scanlations of Negima (or whatever) dried up tomorrow would you stop purchasing the official releases?

I'm not sure where you're going with this. If something like that made sense, shouldn't I also no longer be interested in the Steel Angel Kurumi manga, because there are no official releases anymore?

Quote:grab a purely text translation and so on and so forth.

What if no text translation exists?

And even then, you're getting into serious usability issues there. Some people have enough trouble scanning back and forth to watch subtitled anime. Going back and forth between a paper volume and a webpage is disruptive enough to the experience that it's probably going to stop being worth it except for things one is extremely devoted to. Though you could make an argument for buying the original volume and then reading the scanslations. Or the other way around.
