I personaly purchased or at least started to purchase nearly every anime title that I enjoyed and felt it is worth it. Being that I felt that the creators deserived my hard earned cash in some format. Theres some titles that are in "licenceing hell" that I want to end up buying the leagl region 2 dvds. To say thanks to the producer of said title.
If I didn't have fansubbs I would probaly be forced to use the sad excuse for a rental system that exists for some genres. It has gotten better over the years for the rental market. Overall I see the legal problems with fansubs and see the great usefullness of them for the american distribters. Alot of time fansubs are used to gauge how well the fans are liking a title or genre. Also if said title is worth charging tons for the licence. Right now the sleeper genres are for the most part the genres that fansubers avoid for the most part which is the sports anime and the likes. This is pure opionion on my part.
