For perspective on this whole "leaks" drama, please take a moment to peek at this news article:

http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2015/02/20-1/40-people-arrested-for-illegal-uploading-of-anime-tv-drama-in-3-days

Key thing is here: '''No matter whether it is for profit or non-profit purposes, posting copyrighted materials (anime, films, TV programs, music, manga pages from the magazines or tankobon) onto the internet without copyright holder's permission is illegal in Japan. The criminal act can result in a 10-year jail sentence or a fine of 10 million yen (about 84,000 US dollars) in the worst case.'''

People uploading the series are risking going to prison. So next time you complain about not getting leaked scans a week before the legal release, or complain about the raw scans being a few days late, or the scanlations taking too long......remember that the ONLY REASON we can enjoy Tokyo Ghoul at all is because of some folks literally risking a decade-long prison sentence.

Be grateful that we do get anything at all, instead of having to wait however long it will take for Viz Media to release the series in english.
