You really don't want to know how bad the cost to content ratio for anime releases is in Japan then...
Nowdays a lot of the reason why fansub sprung up and was so vital to anime fandom outside of Japan are completely invalid. Anime and manga are all over the place at a price often far less than the the Japanese get it, releases gaps are tiny compared to the 90s and much more obscure shows are being released. People are really just so used to not having to pay than any amount more than 1 cent is too much.
I have no problem with people downloading fansubs, more power to you. But the nice moral reasons of the good old trading VHS tape days are long gone and the constant fact that fansubs are illegal and have always been illegal from day 1 is going to going to overshadow any other consideration.
