*Especially if* the studios sold them, not *only
if*. As far as cels that weren't officially 
released go, many were given away *by the studio* 
to outsiders and to people who worked on the 
film. No one broke into the studio in a catsuit 
and cracked the vault and took them. These given 
away cels then belong to whoever they were given 
to and if that person sells them, they belong to 
the person who buys them.

For some reason people have this concept of
"stolen" cels that I don't understand. Obviously, 
the studios are not stupid. They know that their 
employees are asking for these things and then 
turning around and selling them. The fact that 
they weren't released officially only means that 
the studio didn't want to go through the hassle 
of a public auction or sale, or they want to keep 
demand up since that does in fact turn around and 
draw attention to the original film, etc, etc.

Like I said, we're not talking about someone 
breaking in and stealing the Mona Lisa, then 
selling it and the buyer claiming ownership 
because they paid for it. That's comparing apples 
to oranges.
