well then i think they should be morally entitled AT LEAST after being responsable for the removal of such an item for sale to PROVIDE an official "alternative" of this item THEMSELVES ! of course someone is making money on the back of bandai (example), for most of your points i agree nanoshi, but would bandai had the courage to make poser items themselvesand sell them ? i mean you do not STEAL a profit they could have made because they are no tinterested in the marginal poser market. of course you make money because of their own fame, but they could not have claim this money themselves, it was just my point in my previous post. whenever i'll saw a will not limited to "sue everyone to death" but more to "make themselves official versions of problem items" towards the fans and potential byuers, then i'll respect a bit more their own point in this matter. else it would just sound to me as absurd as a marketing golden boy who complain he did not manage to make 200% growth sales of fridges in alaska !
