Yoten:
Let's see... sidestep all the mindless anti-America ranting that has nothing to do with this... here we go.
--- Quote ---If that's so, why does the US have the biggest amount of legal court casings over TV rights and other added rights (Movies included, though most for piracy), than any other country on the planet?

You'd have to be more specific than that, though doing so probably makes this more off-topic than it's already been led. Anyway, the U.S. has the most legal court cases with probably everything, seeing as how so many morons like to sue.
--- Quote ---From what I've read, most are over censorship of shows shown on TV that were put in time slots aimed when children could watch them, and would be deemed by the "rational" household unsuitable for children.

Correct. We have rather heavy censorship laws when it comes to children's television. So yeah, the shows you'll see airing on Fox Kids, the WB, and to a lesser degree on Cartoon Network have been extensively altered. When those children's shows are brought to DVD, those DVDs remain censored as there is no perceived market for uncensored ones (not to mention it'd alienate the market they already DO have). If a program shows promise, it may get a dual release of censored and uncensored DVDs ala Dragon Ball Z. Anyway, that's always been the case and is nothing to dispute over.
However, there are almost NO cases where DVDs for series that have not been broadcasted on television have been cut, and in the past even small forms of editing (such as english-language overlays/replacements of onscreen text) have been met with severe criticism and are usually corrected in future re-releases. You implying that a majority of our DVDs are censored, and even listing Ninja Scroll as an example, is nothing but a out-and-out lie, one that I see you're conveniently not mentioning anymore. I doubt Pokemon was in your little list.

Fine, we'll chalk this up to differing opinions. I frankly see room for improvement (video-wise) in both fansubs and the DVDs (to a lesser extent) since I'm anal like that, but whatever floats your boat.
That's it. Funny, the Australians friends I have are generally cheerful people...

Usagi_Yojimbo:

JC:
We normally are cheerful people, untill we get annoyed.
I'm just going to leave it... Sorry to all the decent people there, and to Yoten who copped most of it... Just had to make a point, some someone bit back, probably a little more than could be chewed by both.
