Aokaimaidu got me these sources, thought I'd add my comments.
Kuroshi and licensors. Along with production committees, there's going to have to be a line somewhere where creative labour forces will have to stop jumping through hoops and licensing loopholes with that industry complex.
Death by overworking with comic 'professional' that being a euphemism here since there are overworked comicer that have this Stockholm syndrome with the profit motive. Like being rented mules with others like other rented mules, like the previous.
Or is the standard where love cannot persevere amongst hateful working conditions? Best to be separate from all that ruckus.
Sony has consolidated the licensing, to have to keep in mind.
Licensing politics, even entertainment can't especape form sone/disney/nintendo when it comes to that.
