No, never
Only up until a release for the first volume of the series is announced

Only up until a release for that particular episode is announced
Only up until that episode is released
Fansubs are always okay
Is it okay to download episodes that have had their releases cancelled?
Yes
No
Is it okay to download episodes that are available on DVD if the rest of the series has been canceled? (For example, now that volume 3 of When they Cry has been canceled, is it okay to download episodes from volumes 1 and 2, even though those DVDs an be purchased online?)
Yes
No
Is it okay to download episodes that are available to you on TV?
Yes
Yes, but only after once watching the episode on TV, thereby contributing to the financial cycle by viewing the ads that pay for the episode.
No
Have you downloaded fansubbed episodes of Geneon titles since Geneon stopped releasing DVDs?
Yes

Would you buy those episodes (the ones you downloaded) on DVD if and when they are eventually released (By Geneon, or a third party) ?

Only some of them
No

I want to kill the %#$@& responsible!!!!

Has the semi-demise of Geneon Entertainment and the cancellation of the series they were releasing affected your faith in the rest of the anime industry?
No.
Not really, but this does highlight the importance of suporting anime companies
Maybe a little, but it hasn't affected my anime watching / buying habits.
Yes, it has
Yes, it has - I've stopped buying singles, or at least delay buying the singles until the entire series is available. (and this is at least partially a result of Geneon's departure)
Yes, it has - I don't buy anime anymore, I'm getting out of the fandom (and this is at least partially a result of Geneon's departure)
Yes, it has - I don't buy anime anymore, I just download fansubs (and this is at least partially a result of Geneon's departure)
