Easy.
A manga is a book where the characters are new. The artist made them and its a work of its own.
A doujinshi is a work of a fan, who uses characters of someone else.
Eg, a hentai book about Sailor Moon is a doujin.
It's safe to say that if you see any characters not originally invented by the artists who drew the book, it's a doujin. Otherwise, its a manga.

Strange copyright laws in Japan, in America you would get a lawsuit if someone else made a "sexual" image of a well known comic.
In Japan it seems to be common practice. (don't count me wrong, it is fine by me that Japan allows this to be done).

I'm in no way, shape or form educated in Law and such. In fact I'm quite full of crap.
But I'd guess that h-doujin (and perhaps regular doujin) is protected in someway, much like making a parody of something is protected (to an extent) here in America, even though the copyright (or whatever) is not owned the the author.

Err, yes, that's why there are Fansubs after all! Japanese like when their show is promoted, no matter how. Its great so it doesnt die among the other 70 anime shows that came out that day, if you know what I mean. -_-
Yes, Doujinshi is another way to promote a show, so of course its encouraged.

I'd like to add that there is a third type of book; that is the anthology. From my experience, this is like a doujinshi except that it includes several short stories by different artists. The "Koushoku Shonen no Susume" series is one example.
I am not sure, however, which of the three terms (doujinshi, manga, anthology) applies to a compilation book with several stories by the SAME author. I have a few by Hiro Hoshiai (Kuruguru DNA) and formerly classified them as shota anthologies but have since moved them to the doujinshi category. I could be wrong about recategorizing them. Originally, the stories were released separately.

Mr. F:
...that is why on places such as not4chan, posting material of Japanese shows is encouraged, yet material from American cartoons is against the rules.
I think it's because American companies are much more likely to prosecute, not that the laws are any more/less lenient. Especially since the majority of people on the American 2ch clones don't live in Japan, it's not too lucrative for them to attempt enforcement. Most anime/manga producers are dirt-poor anyway, and can't afford overseas lawsuits.

Also is...
Tankōbon is the Japanese term for a "compilation volume" of a particular series (such as a manga or a novel series, magazine articles, essays, craft patterns, etc.), as opposed to a magazine or a complete works series which often contain multiple titles.
aizōban also called Kanzenban is a collector's edition volume.
bunkoban edition is a typical Japanese novel-sized volume.
wideban edition is larger than the regular tankōbon, and generally collects a series in fewer volumes than the original tankōbon release.
Manga is the Japanese word for comics and print cartoons. Their equivalent to our Comics so often called Japanese Comics.
Manga Anthology is the closest name for magazines like Shonen Jump with several titles in it.
Dōjinshi are self-published Japanese works, usually manga or novels. And not necessarily h in content their is several out there that is not.
