Maybe, maybe not. I don't watch television much, and stuff that's shown now, I probably wouldn't see it since I don't get a station that shows it.

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.

Who said I "decided" to get bored. I watch a story arc, see how it goes. If I really like how it's progressing, I purchase it (but I'm mostly only like this with anime),
if it's available. With manga, as I pointed out, every single series I've ever read a scanlation for, I've bought it once available or either have it on my "to buy" or my "to collect" list since I'm collecting so many series at a time.

The end result is the same. You get entertained and the artist gets squat. That's why it is illegal and wrong.

What's the difference if I'd watched it on television and grew bored anyway? It'd still be the same thing getting right down to it.
