Can anyone give me a link to where I can read the official laws or just a really good post describing how licensed and unlicensed manga are handled in the US?

I think you're expecting something simple yet detailed, which in itself is an oxymoron. If such a thing existed, there wouldn't be much need for lawyers. You're in for a big surprise

Here's your link for the relevant US copyright law.

http://www.copyright.gov/title17/

Of course, also have to look at TRIPS & The Berne Convention since we're dealing with International copyright.

You can read TRIPS here: http://www.wto.org/english/docs_e/legal_e/legal_e.htm#TRIPs

And you can read Berne and other WIPO treaties here: http://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/



Have fun reading. Smile
