If you really like it, I would recommend buying the DVDs. The 9th (last?) one doesn't come out until the end of February, but all the others are available to purchase. There's also 5-disc box set available that contains the first 20 episodes. That retails for $70, though I've seen it online for under $44. Amazon has it for $50. Considering each single disc retails for $25 (though again, cheaper places online), it's a pretty good deal getting 5 of 'em for $70. If you like the show that much.

Aside from the 'old fashioned' way of buying DVDs, there are several places where you can actually pay for a legal download of Death Note such as iTunes and Direct2Drive.

That way, even if you can't really afford to buy the whole thing outright, you can buy any given episode for $2 and say you supported it at least a little.

And that was my rant. Support the stuff you like!
I have every intention of buying the DVDs. However, because I live in Canada, particularly in an area that only ever seems to carry stuff like Pokemon, stumbling upon them is difficult. I'm still looking for them. In the meantime, I'm watching them online. If I hadn't been able to watch it in the first place, I would never have considered buying it. Time for people to start rethinking the applications of "piracy". People are not as willing to blindly pay hard-earned money for something that they have no faith in being worth it. And every sub-par movie that Hollywood insists on pumping out in record time, and the inflated prices of everything else, will only make piracy worse.

If they TRULY want to fight piracy, stop giving people reasons to do it.
