Even if they're found guilty, they won't spend any time in prison.
Prison is for the lower class, the rich and elite don't spend time in there.
After all, we have yet to see anyone from the banking crash go to prison, we have Clapper, who lied to Congress, still in charge, people like Feinstein, Rogers and King get air time, but if you dare violate the CFAA as a citizen, you'll face 35+ years if you don't agree to an 18 month sentence. Oh, and don't think that the prosecutor is ever going to get fired for overzealous prosecution.
Yeah, I'm a bit bitter at all this high court, low court, BS, is it obvious?
Think about it, everyone turns their attentions to him, thinking he's the real threat while other spies go about and steal information from the terrorists while Bond is tied up to an elaborate death trap, etc.
When Bond gets back, all the normal spies are safe and sound and he's the only one who was ever at risk.
Actually, I'd say that other than romance, which not all Shojo is, mind you, and stuff like Death Note (which draws from Evangelion), every anime has influences from DBZ.
Idiot hero wacky hair shapes training from hell defeat means friendship being forgiving to past enemies if they aren't 100% evil Enemies continually getting stronger and stronger, forcing new power-ups at least once a season Over-shadowed by awesome and can't catch up tropes may not have originated from DB/DBZ, but they sure were codified there The current big bad can only be defeated by the main character, again, not started by DB/Z, but codified by it, how many times was it Goku or Gohan that had to beat the big bad and everyone else could only stand around and watch despite being close to them in power and ability? And others, but I can't think of them all off the top of my head.
There are plenty, however, they're in the minority that didn't draw from Dragon Ball/DBZ. But, yeah, you are right, anime in its current form can be traced back to WW2 with Betty Boop and Disney. *nod*
These sound a lot like a shopping list of "excuses', its simply not true that all original works are "transformative" works stolen (with fair use) from someone else.

Seriously, try to prove it.
Every story of every Hero in myths ever? You wanna know something? All of them borrow from the Epic of Gilgamesh.
Anime? There are very, VERY few anime that don't borrow from Dragon Ball, which in turn was inspired by Journey to the West.
Slapstick comedy originated from Jesters from mideval days.
Then show us some examples of how "remixer" have contributed to "the culture"..
I can only assume the lack of examples provided for in this long post is because they are very hard to find.
I just did.
Look at all of Disney's movies.
ALL of them take from the Public Domain and then Disney edited them because the original was violent (the mermaid in the original story turned to sea foam, the Lion King was a mix of Shakespeare and Kimba the White Lion, Hercules, well, do I NEED to go into that one?)
The colored "Wizard of Oz" movie was a remake of the book after all.
Transformers, G.I. Joe and other Hasbro cartoons are based off of toys.
The Gummi Bears cartoon was invented simply because someone looked at the candy and thought "there should be a cartoon on this".
Do you not know about the phrase "Standing on the shoulders of Giants?"
If not, here's the meaning...
Using the understanding gained by major thinkers who have gone before in order to make intellectual progress.
Issac Newton said that in 1676, however, the phrase was said 400 years earlier by John of Salisbury.
John of Salisbury - "We are like dwarfs sitting on the shoulders of giants. We see more, and things that are more distant, than they did, not because our sight is superior or because we are taller than they, but because they raise us up, and by their great stature add to ours."
Issac Newton - "What Descartes did was a good step. You have added much several ways, and especially in taking the colors of thin plates into philosophical consideration. If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants."
You, sir, are not only trying to troll everyone, but you aren't very good at it.
