Thought of the day
It’s amazing how much reading Slashdot can be a substitute to an actual, formal, proper education

Interestingly enough, John’s analysis concerns the famous Mike Rowe case, the one involving Microsoft and this Rowe’s guy mikerowesoft.com domain.
Reading. Hmm. Posting.
John’s comments are straight to the point and perfectly sound, but there’s an edge to them that I do not feel completely safe with.
Let's see if I can find a case which shows the other side of the medal.

It is not doujinshi if it is just a copy; the artist must make a contribution to the art he copies, by transforming it either subtly or significantly. A doujinshi comic can thus take a mainstream comic and develop it differently — with a different story line. Or the comic can keep the character in character but change its look slightly. There is no formula for what makes the doujinshi sufficiently "different" But they must be different if they are to be considered true doujinshi.
