Doujinshi are legal to sell in Japan because it has more permissive copyright laws (or perhaps more accurately "traditions"). US lawyers are a LOT more aggressive, they are willing to ignore small infractions by the fan community but mass distribution (such as the internet) could get their attention. Japanese companies also have American divisions with American lawyers. If you aren't in the US or Japan then I have no idea.
