Those people aren't (usually) the content creators-- they find it somewhere else on the internet and post it there. The reason is that when they send traffic to Rapidshare or whatever, they get free download slots. It is a way to get premium download service without paying for premium download service. But the people that actually do the scans (and translations) do it for nothing more than to support the "hobby" and the "community."
