You don't realise how much royalty money goes back to the Japanese companies do you... people make it sound as if US companies simply TAKE animes away from Japanese companies and then do what they want with them with the Japanese companies not getting anything out of it at all.
But I guess you're right, it's more important to support people who watch the anime rather than supporting the people who make them...
Personally, I prefer to support the people who make the anime in the way I know best... which is by buying my anime even if I can get everything and more from fansubbers.
It is good to be an anime fan though because you don't actually have to pay for anything aside from an internet connection. We get it so easy.
I think I'm starting to feel more and more like a sucker with all the money I've spent...
