There is a girl who runs an YST site and on it
has a cel gallery. She does have a disclaimer
stating that she does not own any of the cels
there, but that they came from other galleries
and from ebay when the cels were being sold. She
says that she asked permission first when taking
from other cel galleries, but that the ebay pics
are free for the taking. I have to say I don't
agree with that logic. On ebay the pics are
there to let people know what they are buying(not
to be a handy image resource for any who want
them). It could be that the person who buys the
cel will not/does not want it's image in her
gallery and yet neither the winning bidder or the
seller are asked if the cel image can be used in
her gallery. Is she correct that ebay images
are "free for the taking" or is she just
justifying stealing images that she wants to
use. If you want to see the gallery in question
it's
