Selling fansubs with no profit is not illegal.
Here is the fine print.

Fair Use Doctrine 

PUBLIC LAW 94-553--OCT. 19, 1976

§107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair Use 

Notwithstanding the provisions of section 106 amd 106A, 
the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by 
reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by and other
means specified by that section, for purposes such as 
criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including 
multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or 
research, is not an infringement of copyright. 
In determing whether the use made of a work in any 
particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered 
shall include - 

(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether 
 such use is of a commercial nature or is for NONPROFIT educational 
 purposes; 

(2) the nature of the copyrighted work; 

(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation 
 to the copyrighted work as a whole; and 

(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the 
 copyrighted work. (there is no market for these items in the US currently)

There you have it. Fansubs for profit...illegal. Fansubbed stuff that's 
available domestically...illegal. Everything else is legal. Is that a problem?
