On the subject of fansubs: They're not evil. I've seen plenty, both VHS and torrent. But I buy what I watch, and so should you.
What if it's really, really bad? I'm really grateful I could watch Chobits online, so I'll never have to waste money on something I dislike so much.
Generally, that's how I see downloading - as a way to sample things so I know which ones I want to buy.
On the subject of being poor: I don't exactly approve of this excuse, even though I know its validity. Maybe you should restrain yourself to unlicensed series?
I also think that downloading the really popular ones (like Naruto, Bleach, and the like), is a lot less harmful since they're made by large companies (who make extreme amounts of money mostly from merchandise) that are less hurt by downloading.
