Steaming is a looking like a great way for companies to go.

I'll say with anime that I say with every other media, piracy isn't a problem it's a call to adapt. You aren't going to beat it by trying to keep your old business alive. You won't beat it by trying to appeal to the moral/legal obligations of people, most pirates don't care. The only way to beat it is by creating a better product.

There are companies that stream for free. Several anime companies have free streams of subs on their web sites. Funimation has subs and dubs for free on their you tube channel(please keep funi sucks comments out of this).

People that get fansubs know this. They don't care. All I hear around the net is crap like "fansubs are BETTER than official subs". Crunchy is also only 6.95 a month. That money helps get more anime here for them to stream. I have a CR account, and I enjoy the heck out of it.

The anime companies have adapted. The fansubbers STILL fansub licensed materials. Fansub downloaders STILL download from them.

It isn't all about getting things for free, people love free stuff, but as for myself, I have no use for raws if they are in a language I don't understand, free or not.

For every one of you or I that buy what we like, there are thousands that just want it for free.

For some people it's about love of the shows. But for the majority, from my experiences, it's about getting free stuff.

Then you have those that CAN get it legally for free as I have described above, yet STILL get the fansubs.
