Why shouldn't we be allowed to?

How else will I get my One Piece fix?

*Checks licensed anime list*

How long has Funimation had One Piece?

Eh, one of my friends would buy fansubs of DBZ and DBGT from this Asian market in New Orleans East. This was back in like 1994-98. (94 was the DBZs, rest of it was GT)

regardless though, its annoying what some companies do to licenses (coughHARMONYGOLDcoughMACROSScough). Thanks to Harmony Gold smothering US distribution of a few of the Macross series and Movies, I cannot get them in the states BECAUSE they only want to distribute it as the hack-and-splice-three-animes-together Robotech. Sure, Robotech still kicks ass, but I'd really like to see some non-****ty quality Macross.

Yup - piracy sucks. Pirates leech off the common consumer, driving prices up and making ADV and the like even LESS likely to relase the DVDs in western territories. Distro companies will always pick up series in demand - why would they want to miss out on selling to a market as big as the US? Just 'cause you don't get the fully subbed, dubbed and featured version a week after the Jap release doesn't mean you should become a leech yourself.
