Well for takedowns on YouTube and stuff it doesn't really matter what your source was, since whether a video is infringing is independent of whether you legally acquired the source footage. If it ever went to court, they'd have to evaluate whether the video was infringing on its own merits, though if they found it out you did not legally acquire the source footage they could add a second claim for copyright infringement against you for that.

It's a similar situation: There are not anime shops in my city, meaning, no DVDs. The only way to get the VOBs files is by requesting a DVD-rip to some familiars in USA, but never get responses. And the only DVDs available are the first season of Bleach and Naruto. But fortunately I've never got in any problem about that

If you're in court, even if you win, you've already lost. Hooray for bankrupting legal fees!
