Whilst looking for information on Akamatsu sensei's newest manga, I found a link to some ridiculous law currently trying to pass through Japan's legislature. It basically gives publishers almost as much power as the author, under the pretext of "preventing piracy." Just thought I'd post it up here to raise some awareness.
