Back in the day, when I was young and flush with money, I owned every single anime DVD release available at the time.

I am now older, disabled, and on a fixed income, so I can't remember the last time I bought a DVD series, even for shows I would love to own.

That being said, now I watch licensed series on Crunchyroll and Hulu. If a series is unlicensed, how exactly am I hurting the industry by watching the fansub? Heck, in my case, I'm dabbling in fansubbing again, because even though some series have been licensed that I would never have DREAMED would be (looking at you "Oniisama E..."), there are a bunch of old, unprofitable titles that have never had an official english subtitled (much less dubbed) release.

People also seem to forget that a lot of the early licensing happened because of fansubs. Series like "Cowboy Bebop", "Evangelion" and "Trigun" were hugely popular in the fansubbing world, so people with money took a shot at licensing them. Now we're in an age of simulcasts, which is astounding to me.

Do the latest and greatest shows need to be fansubbed? No. But there are plenty of titles out there that have no licensing, and shouldn't be forced to remain obscure due to the fact they wouldn't turn a profit.
