...but I DO get angry when people take my cel 
images. I can't really EXPLAIN it, I just get 
kind of riled up. It angers me. Part of it is the 
work that went into scanning that cel and putting 
up a gallery, but that's not all of it. I think 
Lizzard expressed it best on her website (and 
excuse me for borrowing this, verbatim, Lizzard!):

"These are one-of-a-kind cels and sketches, not 
mass-produced fodder for the world's anime 
archives. If you do not know what a cel is, use a 
search engine to find out. Cels are not the same 
as screenshots and book scans."

That's EXACTLY how I feel. Thank you for the much 
more eloquent expression of my emotions towards 
this issue, Lizzard, I hope you don't mind that I 
borrowed them.

Moving onto the eBay issue...frankly, I think 
it's stupid to say that it's "public 
domain"...because the entire web is public 
domain! You can go to a cel website and steal 
images just as easily as you can go to eBay and 
steal them, so I think that argument falls 
through. The person still OWNS the cel, even as 
they are selling it. I would have at least ASKED 
permission.

Eh. In the words of Dennis Miller, that's just my 
opinion, I could be wrong...
