Yeah, I know it's not legal, but the Livejournal community's never really done things legally when it comes to those things. The NicoVideo stream would also not be very legal either, yet I think it's still up.

I didn't want to sound like I was encouraging it, but felt I should answer that question. I hope that no Hetalia fans pull what Kuroshitsuji ones did to the author when it comes to the anime though: "HEY HIMARUYA, I WATCHED ALL OF THE SERIES ON YOUTUBE. AND I DOWNLOADED THE MANGA, IT'S SO COOL!". And these were Japanese fans of that series too, which makes it all the more sad (and not just a case of "lol, ignorant westerner fans" for KS).
