It's still the same with today's analogy of free distribution in the internet. The copyright laws that was originally dealing with printing have to deal with digital distribution today. That's the problem.

If that's the case, then what do you think of the Pirate Parties being legal in Europe, Canada and the USA? They are promoting an activity of criticizing the whole nature of copyright in the digital environment? Copyright issue itself is gray.

Read all of your posts carefully for few years on copyright. You seem to secretly love this concept. But that's just my guess.

Here are two options:

1. You keep complaining about online manga, games or movie piracy (which is still growing thanks to many forms of encryption) until you die.
2. You promote a middle way to satisfy both sides.

Actually, I'm in favor of reforming the copyright laws since they're early 20th century relics. And manga artists should have donation boxes embedded in their website or blogs.
