Right now, I don't make enough to buy the ridiculously expensive dvd/blue rays. I do however like your idea of buying the ones that you enjoyed later. That is something I've thought about doing for a while now and I probably will buy my favorites when I have sufficient funds. How ever, I don't think people watching anime for free is really a bad thing, the more popular an anime gets the more people who can afford it will end up buying it. There is no way I would honestly spend money on all of the anime I've seen but I have recommended ones that I've liked to friends who have ended up buying it later on.
