Now now, AI is nowhere near this (at least in 
bulk), although if a country could create such an 
AI, it would probably be Japan. LOL

What I *would* be worried about with digital anime 
is a higher incidence of fraudulent douga. After

these things could be produced en masse. However, 
we still have to rely on reputable dealers, once 
again..
