Good points, neko. I think you could also find parallels with scanlation projects. I do notice, however, that Japanese countries aren't looking away as often anymore. Popular scanlation and dub/sub sites are getting cease-and-desist letters more often and projects are having to go more underground. I think it's because it's becoming so much easier to push projects into the U.S. that companies want to protect any possible profitability there.
