I grew bored of Inuyasha round about the same time it got licensed here. I grew bored of Naruto a little while after that was licensed here too. By the time I got sick of these series, DVDs weren't even thought of yet.
Edit: Oh, the manga of these series I don't read. No interest and I can read that here anyway. No need for scanlations.

And this is why this practice is illegal, and like I said, if you didn't see these shows illegally, you would have seen them legally.
I wouldn't consider watching more than one episode "sampling". It sounds like you were watching entire seasons at a time, decided you got bored, and didn't ever pay for the parts that didn't bore you to the artists and publishers that made it.
The end result is the same. You get entertained and the artist gets squat. That's why it is illegal and wrong.
