He knows it's not all about the profit.

Actually ZUN himself keeps a pretty tight leash, If its Doujin materials its pretty much okay and he forbids selling it on International Market places, He'd have a hard time managing his rights (Berne Law) Considering He is a One-man team :P. He actually Turned down 2 anime projects for touhou last year, one was ufotable becuase he was completely uninformed, which shortly thereafter he made a revision to his IP managing that any Animation/3d game must be registered with him first, as one could take cue the aforementioned products are highly profitable.
I'd Like to think our fellow favorite makers are down-to-earth people too, but business is business, without a consistent profit which you can get from managing you IP your business will most likely not stay in a "maturity stage" for long and soon thereafter reach a "death stage". Even profiting business, businesses that actually have consistent income have the same amount of risk of reaching the "death stage" in just a short matter of time, given the right factors. So profits is just as important as catering to your fans If not how would you'd be able to please them more with your works.
Although it is Indeed ZUN is much more of a clear example.
I can actually explain further, since this is for the sake of SOPA/ACTA issue alsoi. Copyright is not the right to copy. The Modern copyright law owes itself to the Statute of Anne (http://www.copyrighthistory.com/anne.html)
"An Act for the Encouragement of Learning, by Vesting the Copies of Printed Books in the Authors or Purchasers of such Copies, during the Times therein mentioned." meaning it granted authors the full ownership/monopolization of their products so they can profit from it and at the same time continue to make new works for the encouragement of learning.
Which was my point profits aren't really bad
Profiting from your own work to make more basically.
Imo, maximizing profits isn't bad, as that is part of well working and having a business, but there is a fine line between "maximizing" and "Abusing." which the SOPA/ACTA makers are doing...

Although you'd think the topic was dead, nope, not so.
Apparently we're seeing another phase in this saga, by the looks of it.
tsukihime:
ACTA isn't completely over yet, but hey what is this? Look up CISPA, it's SOPA reborn.
satty:
Oh boy. Not again.
I think that laws should be clearly stated on what they should be doing, and not use words that can imply a lot of things.

And they think it'll work the second time why...? I mean everyone kinda figured out the first time that backing SOPA was political career suicide and that it was a stupid policy in general.
Doing some quick reading is says that CISPA is more likely to be backed by companies than to condemn it like with SOPA, but surely people aren't that stupid, right? ...Right? Ah, who am I kidding, we're screwed.
