Okay, this will be the last post from me on this 
topic, as I am wearing out my welcome, hahah.  I 
rarely post like this anymore, but this is just 
a passionate subject for me.  I totally 
disagree.  You may own that cel, but you still 
do not own that image, or that character, 
therefor you shouldnt have any rights to tell 
others they cant use that image (as long as it's 
scrupulous).  I mean, I see fanart out the yang, 
all over the place!  I see custom dolls, ufos, 
cels, posters, t-shirts, you name it.  If 
someone made a drawing of my cel and put it on a 
t-shirt and wore it, I wouldnt give a care.  I 
really wouldnt!  Like I said, I KNOW I own the 
original...so what's it to me if someone else 
likes it and wants to mimic it?  Anime is for 
everyone, what gives me the right to lord 
my "property" over everyone?  Lets say they sell 
it online, as long as they state it's a repro or 
fanwork, I dont care.  Just doesnt make a 
difference to me, and I really feel that taking 
total ownership of your cels and the images on 
them is a really ballsy thing to state.

This whole thing reminds me of how Disney is.  
Did you know you cant make any fanart of Disney 
charas, not at all?  You will get sued for even 
making a crappy pencil drawing of Mickey Mouse 
if it's caught online.  Im doing some Kingdom 
Hearts fanart...but I will not be able to 
include any of their charas.  I dont want to 
make money off of them, I simply want to show my 
love for the game.  There are no Kingdom Hearts 
websites with art anymore either, Disney has 
shut them all down and threatened them.  
Now.....if you want to be like Disney and police 
the animation world with an iron fist, the by 
all means.  Im just saying, dont taint 
everything. There are alawys criminals and 
fakes, but some people really just want to paint 
and draw fanworks ~_~  Maybe they cant afford 
the 1500$ Belldandy cel...so what choice do they 
have?
