People generally don't fan-sub licenced material (why do the same work twice), so mostly it isn't an issue. I watch fansubs and read scanlations, too. And the good sites take down titles when they get licenced. Heck, it's THANKS to fan-subs and scanlations that some titles get picked up, so please don't think that I am against it. I am only against sites that take translated work and just scan it and post it. That is not cool.
And there are some good translators out there who fansub...but there are some crappy (usually non-native English speakers) too.
