   	Why not a paying site to download static and animated   
   image files.  Even encode them so that the user had to pay a buck   
   or two get the code to open them?

   	Starcade/darkstar/mike or mikey suffers from a particular   
   sort of disorientation in that he projects his inner conflicts on the   
   whole world and particularly the manageable part called Usenet   
   anime newsgroups.

   	Then why do legitimate companies like AT &T advertise on these   
   sites?  Are they not enabling the violations more than any down loader   
   or viewer could do.   
      
   	And the Oil Spill in Gulf of Mexico is perfectly legal.  Which would   
   you rather have to deal with?

   	No I have not as it is such a simple idea that it could occur to anyone   
   not wedded to the present models of using up wood-pulp for entertainment.   
   Anyone is free to take the idea and run with it.  But will a reasonable   
   publisher   
   be found in Japan?  I have my doubts when I look at the crop of anime and   
   manga being published.  Starcade is wrong about a lot of things but the   
   differences between a story directed at children and a story that directs   
   sexual interest to children is very hard to determine at times but still   
   drawings on paper or computer don't have to involve any real 3 or 4   
   dimensional people.   
      
   	The actress for the character of Jody Rockwell has a distinctly Japanese   
   accent to her English.  This with all the available gaijin in Japan to   
   do the   
   work.   
   	The manga was worse either teasing or declaring that her size and   
   power were the result of crossbreeding a woman and a walrus.  No wonder   
   the manga has never been legally released in the West.
