This is a sad day.
It is pure foolishness on the part of the publishers. They have alienated a massive part of their international fan base. Fan scanlations have accounted for the massive rise in American interest in yaoi and actively trying to stop them is just a shot in the foot. Such greed will only create disdain among the most dedicated fans. All they're doing is ensuring that far fewer people will be exposed to their work. A very poor business decision.
