illegal downloading has only affected music business. and even that by a little %. still all of the big stars make up for it with live shows.
lets say torentleech. one of the worlds largest torrent sites. just checked giants in their respected fields - on average 300 downloads for "Bleach". some Lady gaga song - 11 000 + DC++ where music is transferred in millions, but not anime. and movie Avatar - combined downloads 50 000 yet it made 2 billion dollars.
so it's not that. simply loss of interest and digital distribution which is much cheaper for manga and as mentioned - licensing costs.
