The reason I watch most of my anime this way is because the content is simply not available to the North American market in English within a reasonable time frame.

IF the anime is ever released in North America, there is a good chance it would be in 1-3 years - and that is a big if. Not every anime makes it to English.

The anime shows which I enjoy and are released in NA, I buy. I do my best to support the genre I enjoy.

But I guess the letter of the law says I am a thief.
Not sure if it's related but after megaupload and megavideo got shut down, the comic store had their biggest one day anime sales in 3 years!

I'm doing the animethon convention this weekend so hopefully my dvd/blu ray sales would be great too!
