Also, the way Japanese companies work, the author is very unlikely to see anything out of the license fee charged to the US company.


That's pretty funny considering that manga-ka co-own the copyright with the publishers. You know this for a fact or are you just guessing?

"People who buy the licensed translations aren't really supporting the authors" is just plain silly. This is print publishing, not the record industry, for crying out loud.
