What are the copyright laws involving dubbing a foreign TV show?

Question

My friends and I were planning our own dub of a japanese sentai series to air on a local cable access network, and we were wondering if, since we're not doing it for profit, we could air it without getting any legal backlash. I'm naive, right?

Answer 1

Dubbing is an alteration of a work and it needs an approval from the producer of the show to be tampered with.
