Unless, that is, TOEI decides to take a more active role in spreading SS and KR into the west.

To add onto this, the question in itself is a loaded one. It'd be like asking "Do we really need official subs for Toku shows? Fansubs exist afterall!"

But even ignoring all that, why should fans of Power Rangers(hi, we exist!) have to go without simply because it's based on something else? Or should the US Godzilla films stop getting made because Godzilla's a Japanese property?

People often forget that not only is PR based on Sentai, but Sentai continuously grows thanks to ideas it gets from Power Rangers. They work in unison, not against eachother. And simply killing Power Rangers off not only means a smaller fanbase overall, but less creativity coming in for the market.

People still like Power Rangers. Talking down to them about the whole situation does nothing.
