The more stuff that is made virtually available to the consumer (whether free or even at a small price,) the better chance copyright holders will stand in the fight against internet piracy and illegal downloads. This is a step in the right direction. :)

While this is good news, part of the reason there is so much infringement with these shows is the fact that unless you are Japanese or know the language, you are going to want subtitles. That's where fansubs come in. If they want to be global having subs in at least a couple of languages would be nice if not necessary.
