Oh Cyrus... this so looks like it wants to be about the joys of piracy vs the responsibility of making sure that creators are paid for their creative efforts.
From the creators standpoint downloading fansubs is about the same as buying HK discs. They don't see a single red cent when you get your anime this way. They only way they see a paycheque is if you buy a licensed disc at the prices you consider to be unreasonable.
I'm also amused that you put the priority on the quality of the release. Does this mean that all those people who are trying to make a living by producing shows like Di Gi Mon should just give up and get a job flipping burgers somewhere?

Gullible isn't in the dictionary.
