So this is what you've been doing instead of writing fanfics yourself... I
*was* starting to wonder, Paul  ^_^

"Interestingly, many observers believe that the vibrancy of these
markets for infringement has created numerous innovations and fostered
the emergence of talented artists who have benefitted the industry as a
whole. The relatively weak legal regime in Japan, noted widely
elsewhere, appears to have by chance solved a collective action problem
and prevented the interests of a few copyright holders from inhibiting
the growth and development of the industry as a whole."

Somehow, this comes as no surprise; I always figured our legal system in the
States stifled a lot more than we knew.  Now there's proof, huh.

Anybody interested can link to the working paper at:
