So spike, I don't think fansubs are legal under any circumstance but no way in hell anyone will prosecute you for it. Not that I give a fuck ofcourse 
That is very true and the chances of a prosecution are EXTREMELY low as has been stated before it's not worth the time, the money, or the effort for the companies. Personally I think it might HELP animes popularity in English speaking countries because it sparks intrest even before the anime is liscensed and released. But illegal leagal who gives a damn if it's cheap, easy, and good it's illegal...

Bah... fansubbing is still alive via the internet. There are a bigillion people DLing anime via the internet. If you plan on buying the series I don't see harm in downloading a couple of episodes. Anime doesn't have trailers like movies do or any samples like music. Then again some anime mags had DVDs with one episode but then again you can't judge a whole series by one episode.

They are illegal in HK too.
------------------
Although Japanese companies rarely prosecute fansubbers, they may have more incentive to do so as many Japanese ppl are downloading them since there are fansubs which are dvdrips of the R2.
