   The only reason this is being brought up is because of Sueseki Yuki (if I   
   got the name right?) who copied her basketball images for Flower of Eden   
   from Slam Dunk and has had all her manga titles discontinued as punishment.   
   Meanwhile, Inoue copies photos and continues to make millions.  Which one   
   is worse?
