The music situation is wierd because, yeah, he didn't do it for financial gain or rights, he did it because he was a racist and only true Nipponese deserve to hear his music in all it's glory. I get the gut reaction of it not mattering compared to his entire...you know...awful existence, but it was intrensically connected. LEGALLY, there was not much to be done.

Yeah you're right, I think I mostly just bristled at the idea he was uniquely responsible for hurting the DQ series when it's also on Square for continuing to associate with him. Because the legal solution was always to throw him and his music in the trash and get a new composer, but that's not what the fans want. Ultimately it'll probably be easier for SE to buy out the new rights holders now so everyone wins in the end except Sugiyama.
