I stream anime all the time. I buy manga all the time. I buy DVDs of my favorite anime.

That's basically it.

Because I neither buy nor download.

There's no place to legally buy them in Maldives, or in Sri Lanka (as far as I know). If there were, I would download first, then when the volume releases I'll buy 'em. I can't buy through e-bay 'cuz I don't have a credit card and my dad would be too stingy. Oh, and I don't have the money for it.

Buy, but I'll also download if I'm not 100% sold. Or it's not licensed. Or horrifically out of print. Then, if it does get licensed/relicensed and I think it's worth buying, I'll buy it (just happened recently with Rose of Versailles getting licensed, woot! I know I'll buy that, even having only seen two eps via download, I will gladly pay money for it in hopes of getting more over here!)
Unless they have a legal stream up, I can deal with ads for a few episodes just to test the waters. I don't have much space on my harddrive in the first place, so legal streams can be helpful

Stream if they aren't available, buy if/when they become available.

TV or a legal streaming site like Crunchyroll, funimation's website/youtube channel, netflix, hulu, anime on demand, the anime network...

I download or stream all anime. Simply because 1) anime is really expensive since I have to buy it online if I want to buy anime 2) It's the wrong region on the dvd's so I can't play them anyway.
I do buy all my favourite manga series though, so I like to think I make up for that.

I don't have much money to buy Anime..They are priced higher where I live..It is hard to get more than 2 seasons from the store..That's the max you'll probably found as legal shits..So I download them..I am also building an Anime,Tv Shows and Movies Library so I have to download..And I usually watch when I can't access internet or electricity is off. So download for me :D

Stream, can't support mangaka because manga isn't sold anywhere near where I live, and the DVDs are 1-dollar knock-offs/copies of the original disc so I know the producers won't get any money out of that :P And Streaming is easier and faster than torrents.

Legally stream through Crunchyroll, Hulu and Funi. Occasionally download BD rips when I cant find on one of those services.

Sadly I don't have the money to buy manga and anime unless it's so good I'll die without it cause I like staring at the cover art in person.

60% Bought
20% Downloaded
15% Streamed Legally
5% Streamed illegally

Something Like that
The quality of illegal streams is awful. The only time I ever stream is if I can find a way to watch it on my Ipod

Depends on what options are available.

I always buy something if it is possible, if not then I'll download it but that is very rare for me.

Buy and download. Gota test it before you buy it brah. A lot of the shows I like such as Votoms, LOGH, or Older Gundam series don't get american releases anyway. I definitely download more than I buy, but I'm slowly buying the anime I really enjoy.
