You do realize that the industry is just legal fansubbing with paid people in order to get a better quality product before deadlines.

Actually I like some fansubs better than their DVD counterparts a lot more. Mainly because some fansubs are really well done. I also enjoy the cultural bits and information things fansubs often have. So while a lot of fansubs are done to about the same quality as a DVD (I rarely see ones that are less), many go above the DVD's subbing.
As for whether they hinder or boost sales. My friends and I all watch fansubs first, and buy the ones we like (we think as fans we should support those companies) and dont buy the ones we dislike. So I guess it could do both.
