I watch fansubs 90% of the time, so even if the US anime industry flopped because of piracy, I'd be perfectly happy sticking to fansubs. I almost never listen to the English dubs, so it seems pointless for me to have to pay $80 or $60 for them ($40 I would consider, but it'd better be a damn good series). Besides, most new anime series these days lack originality, are saturated with pointless fanservice and corny dialogue; very rarely does a truly memorable title gets introduced. And with the increasing quality of fansubs these days due to high-definition broadcasts in Japan, the quality gap between fansubs and DVDs is quickly closing.Precisely. Why should I pay for something I can get for free?
