Yes,
how many of you here have went and bought a show 
at the store because you thought it looked cute 
or well done or had a nice story...only to find 
out you just spent 35$ on a two episode tape of 
mindless babble that you wouldnt have taken if it 
were free had you know it was so bad?  ::raises 
hand::  I think fansubs make money for the 
licensees by letting fans know what's good and 
what's not.  Like with ANC...I saw that show all 
fansubbed...and boy am I glad I did...because Id 
be in alot of debt now had I bought the show...I 
really didnt like it..::balks at the expensive 
DVDs::   I like to see a show before I buy 
it..same with music.  I go to CDnow and listen to 
the songs before I plunk out 20$ on the CD -_-.
