So were these Chinese guys in Kyoto? That's what I assumed, but it didn't explicitly state their location, that I saw. It would be pretty crazy if they were in China though. lol

Are they really so difficult to take down?

"Illegal" anime sites are a necessary evil. Many series don't get simulcast sub releases and remain exclusive to Japan so the only way to experience those series is through fansubs. The best way to combat them is to offer a better paid service, which is what Crunchyroll and FUNimation mostly do, and the series they don't have (And many OVAs and movies) are what I use those fansites for, because there is no legal way to view them. You can't ever eliminate piracy fully, and I actually think it has a right to exist if there is no legal alternative to pay money towards buying and or seeing a series.

Well, strictly speaking, if you don't have legal access to something, the right thing to do is to just not watch it. I use fansubs for shows that I can't legally get as well, now and then, but fansubs aren't "necessary". They are nice to have, sure, but nothing about anime is a necessity. Without fansubs our lives would be just as well off and we would just have more time to watch the shows that are legally available.

China censors/forbids various anime. Code Geass is forbidden, for example. So many times, subs are used.

They're extremely numerous, and I think both of you forget one thing: Due to regional restrictions, many anime titles (or perhaps all of them) are not legally available. Or have you not realize how priviledged you are? Also, some people only have occasional access to the Internet, through free hotspots or a coffee at an Internet-serviced place once-a-week, for being too poor for anything else. They download because they can't watch it any other way. I will shamelessly say that I've been in that same position. You see, when your poor, you still need entertainment, and I really wish I had an account on a legal site, and had a beautiful collection like those that appear on Shelf-Life, or at least an used computer that can stream without blocking... but I don't even know what I'm going to eat tomorrow, so what the hell.
I'd like people to stop acting in arrogance just because they live in a more prosperous country of come from the middle class.

A very good point. But instead of cracking down on actual criminality, Japanese lawmakers prefer to crackdown on file-sharing, arrest and humiliate drug addicts, make extra-time unpaid and punish an idol's love/sex life.

With all due respect Hellsoldier, you don't need anime. I'm sure there are other forms of entertainment you can get legally where you live, if you feel entertainment is a necessity, but if you truly do not know how you are going to eat tomorrow, you should really focus on that. Your situation still doesn't justify fansubs and illegal uploads of entertainment.
