Frankly, I'm kind of sick of it. Is it because non-copyrighted pieces of work are not sustainable for large publishing houses? Not to mention manga is too. It's not much of a problem when it comes to individuals, but companies which probably lobby for "eternal" copyright (I know Disney does but that's not Japanese).

In fact, is there anything from Japan that I don't have to feel guilty about sharing with my friends and family (but mostly friends)? Or do I literally have to wait until my death for some anime to enter the public domain?
