Yup, they're all stolen. Many of my own cels are
posted on this guy's site. I've also seen many
other sites which have galleries of stolen images
as well. Most of these sites acknowledge that
they don't own the cels, and are just displaying
them as "high quality images."
Another problem is that a lot of people don't
understand what a cel displayed on the internet
is. When I showed my roommate my site he was
confused at first as to what the cels actually
were--he thought they were just screenshots from
the show. We need to educate these people!
Point this guy to:

Guys who steal cel images like this are the
reason that I decided to put my site URL on top
of all my images. To those who have not--beware
of the risk that you are taking!
