and to add as an update i found quite a bit of good information on distributors rights and copyright and it looks like it is very normal for the original owner to not give the distributor any sort of copyright power. the reason im thinking that fakku does not hold any sort of copyright power at least here in the united states is because illusion decided to publish Koikatu on steam themselves. if they had given fakku copyright power in the western world fakku would be able to block them from doing so.That would make sense given that nearly all of their profit comes from the Japanese market.
