   	I sort of agree that the rules propagated are dumb and anti-sales but   
   maybe Shogakukan is trying to escape responsibility   
   if the fans go ahead and put up the doujin that they most likely   
   will.  Then Shogakukan can say to the legislators and/or prosecutors   
   that we tried to stop them, you see in March of 2011   
      
   	Of course I am just an only cynic especially after the   
   the Yawara debacle at AnimEgo.  By the way the box set is   
   now retailing at less $40 thru TRSI and if I could I would   
   get them all and give them as gifts.
