Wow, you know a lot! Thanks for that! I'll start looking into torrents now.

Not really. Was just curious how some of the high profile fansub groups have
been operating in the open for so many years apparently without being
hassled. It might not be legal for you to have any downloaded copy at all, I
don't know. Actually I'm almost surprised that the companies that make the
animes don't distribute their own DRM protected subtitled versions
themselves, over BT or whatever method.

Yeah, I don't think companies like DB should be hassled for subbing since
nobody else does it. If the anime companies subbed it themselves for
distribution, then it would be a problem. I hope I don't get in any trouble
for downloading them =/

i don't know if i'm posting in the right spot, but i have a question
about it myself. i used Realplayer to download a movie off the internet,
then changed used an online converter to change the file type to avi,
because the original format wasn't compatible. but when i tried to play
the movie, it would start to lag and eventually just stop several
seconds in. i don't know if its the movie or what.
