No, they do not own a lot of the cels that I am
seeing - and perhaps they do not own any of them,
I cannot say for sure. Most of their pictures
were taken from the dealers sites and perhaps
auctions. They really have no way of asking the
owners permission since they probably do not know
who they are, but I am not trying to give them any
credit..
This topic and site have been debated upon quite
often. I suppose it is all up to the owners of
the cels and how they feel about others using the
images without their permission. True, you may
not own the copyrights to the images themselves,
but it still would be good if they were
considerate enough to ask permission to use the
cels (also state the owners name and link their
galleries) and the ones that they do not have
permission to take down (though I am sure that
they would have to take down most of their gallery).
I am sure they are fully aware about the negative
feelings most collectors harbor towards others
posting their cels without permission. I believe
others have asked them to take down their cels and
from what I have read they do take them off. They
have two of my cels there and I have asked them to
remove them.
Take care,
