Getting a fansub of Sailor Moon -is- on a different level with getting a fansub of another anime series that has been released commercially. For one, the market-promoting effect actually works backwards here; if you pay for a commercial version of a hacked tape, then you’re indirectly promoting the production of more hacked tapes! For another, the changes and editing are more than “picky” people would appreciate; I won’t touch SM with a ten-foot pole, but I can still understand that changing the sex of a main character just to avoid references to homosexuality is one hell of a change. DBZ has a good chunk of this as well. Remember, people who get these are still incurring the same moral obligation that any consumer of fansubs occurs… in other words, if a subbed version does come out, you -do- have to buy it. Really.
