Why would anyone pay good money to watch X number of shows and pay a flat rate fee for all of them when they only watch 1,2, or maybe even none.
You know the answer to that... Because it's the right thing to do

This is honestly why the industry folks have issues with fansubbers. We've created a culture of "we want it free, we want it now".

The issue is it's difficult to make money giving away stuff for free. Youtube is posting huge losses (estimated annual loss of $470.6 million), for example. The newspaper industry is dying before our very eyes because they decided to give the news away for free online.
