Your logic is so skewed I don't know where to start. When they see fantranslations being downloaded with pirated copies of the games and us just taking the games without any care? They're going to say "fuck all" and most likely NEVER want to agree to licensing again. (at least for PCs, who knows what that could say for console games)
They're going to think "hey, they're already getting it illegally, why should they care if it is being sold now? They're not even going to buy those either, they'll pirate them too."
I love FTs. I use them myself. But this is a horrible idea. It is going to send the wrong message, especially if you are planning on being out in the open like you claim on your forum.
I dunno about you, but when I get games? I would rather just be able to install it or run an executable than do all the stuff I had to do to get them running through a Japanese version. And I would rather buy them to support the market we have now. (Unless it sucks. Then fuck that, I ain' payin for Suck My Dick Or Die)
