If Sony will release it, fan translation is probably not a good idea. Sony is often VERY tough on copyright.

And many years ago, Sony made the Walkman. And made many blank cassettes, too. That is how fan copying started first.

In late 80s, in the Soviet Union, you could not buy legal Beatles discs. But my father had it all on Sony cassettes. Fan copying bypassed the Iron Curtain.

Just as fan translations do now with the language barrier.
