That is not too true.  While the copyright owner does not
file law suits towards doujin artist, that does not make
the doujin "legal" in copying other people's character.

Fujishima-sensei himself likes doujinshi a lot, so probably
he does not mind.

There was at least a case in which a diujin artist was arrested
due to her use of a To Heart character in her doujinshi.
