I admit, I've DL'd several animes over torrents and such (Nanoha, GaoGaiGar, Shin Mazinger, s-CRY-ed, Haruhi, Mazinkaiser) and for the most part, it was to either A: See what just came out in Japan (Shin Mazinger), B: Preview the anime before I buy it (GaoGaiGar, Nanoha) or C: (my least favorite reason) because it's too expensive or I can't find it (the rest).

Personally, if I had the cash, I would use option B all the time DL to preview something before buying. But, I don't, since I'm rather poor at all times.

I *want* to support the anime industry more, but I can't afford to spend 50 bucks on a 13 episode series/season.

I'll spend 50-70 bucks on something like 72 episodes (All three seasons of Slayers), but not 50 for 13 episodes.
