No, I agree. It's unfortunate that series I haven't seen I buy, but well..I've had the fansubs for such a long time and not watched that they became commercial. The whole premise of fansubs is to well...eventually buy the show. I feel the same and continue to buy anime. Hopefully what I bought it good :-P.

Thankfully some of the stuff still isn't licensed so that's less money out of the pocket on things that could or could not be good.

I'm glad you feel this way since I've gotten into quite a few arguments with people who feel the necessity to keep bootleg anime and hurt the industry. There argument is basically that well...they're special and above it. The best I heard was "I wasn't going to buy it anyway, so they're not realy losing money." (sarcasm)This obviously makes sense since they're willing to keep it on their HD.(/sarcasm) Either way I agree.
