Copyright Law Expansion To Have An Impact On “Manga Cafes”?

With the topic of comics piracy recently appearing on the horizon, flag a-wavin', a potential major change on another issue involving the rights of artists to profit from works they've created should be pointed out. According to this article, expansion of Japanese copyright law that establish the need for royalties for rentals now includes print publishing, and was accomplished with plenty of comic book industry input. It's interesting to see rentals blamed for a downturn in the comics business -- the blame part sounds familiar, anyway -- although it looks like people believe that royalties can be handled for most thing without passing a too-egregious cost along to the consumer.
