This is forgery. This is not (only) a matter of 
copyright. The owner of the real cel could 
probably claim that people doing copies are 
damaging the value of the original.

Not only it is illegal to cel a "fan cel" because 
it's not licensed by the copyright holders. But 
it's also illegal if the person buying it may have 
done so thinking it was an original.

They _usualy_ doesn't care if people draw their 
characters. They certainly care if people do 
forgery. For the simple reason that it lower the 
value of their cels if none other.
There is an awfully big differance between 
creating ones own image and doing a copy of a 
produce.

Cheers,
