Yes fansubbing is illegal, It's just like napster giving away free songs. But I guess TV Tokyo dosen't see it that way because most people that host the downloads are giving it away for free, btu if they look through thes sites like we do just because the love anime and saw that someone was actually making someone pay for what they have rights over they stop everyone from fansubbing and press charges on the individuals who are still trying to host eps. Thats how I feel.
