Firstly, I don't condone anon postings. ^_^  
Secondly, I agree with the basic premise of 
the original reply - copying something that is in 
someone else's gallery is icky. Why? Because the 
potential for a great grievance is right there!  
It's just an honor code for copier fancel artists 
to maintain (i.e. not sell their copied work), but
if you think everyone has the same honor code.. 
Then again, I also understand that newbie artists 
often copy to practice (not that I do that 
myself)... 

I suppose my gripe is that copied fancels 
must be clearly marked. Fancels should be clearly 
marked *on* the image, under the paint and over 
lines, not off to a corner or small. If you 
intend to post a big image, it's better to 
digitally watermark it, too. Am I being paranoid? 
You're naive until something happens, and then you 
realize there's nothing you can really do about 
it. Remember the old Nausicaa cel scam? Well, I'm 
sure the fancel artist who copied those cels had 
no idea that they were being fraudulently 
auctioned off, but even after the rest of us found 
out, it only takes ONE buyer who has no clue to 
pay the guy a few hundred bucks that will 
disappear with him. If people don't care about 
being party to this sort of thing as fancel 
artists ... Well, more power to them - and the 
rest of us.
