Japan explored the idea of broadening the anime/manga infection to the US/Europe but it simply cannot emulate the comic book scene here.
Comic book is already a dying hobby in the US, today's kids are not into self nurturing hobbies like reading comic books and building airplane models.
They rather show off who is the biggest attention-whore on facebook/MySpace. Anime/manga are consider freebies here.
That's why Japan is not really policing the anime piracy here, they don't think they can build a profitable business here selling anime related products and services.
