^ What Hata is trying to say is if anyone is involved in the production of a series they can claim the right to own that series (hell, even someone who gave a pen to an inker has a claim), but the big problem with that is that the publishers can claim any series as their own through the barest of connections and take that series away from the original creator. Oh, and since they are the owners, they can stop any doujin that's made with any characters from the series they own.
