Generally, it causes a great divide between the 
copiers versus the original pose people.

Myself, I would be pissed to find someone selling 
a copy of a cel I own. It wouldn't matter to me 
how they'd created it -- if it was created from a 
screen capture, or from looking at my gallery 
would make no difference to me. (Those who make 
exact copies of existing cels often proclaim 
their innocence by virtue of the fact that they 
made the cel from a screen capture, and not by 
looking at someone's gallery. But as I see it, 
that's nothing more than splitting hairs.) It 
also wouldn't matter to me if the fancel were 
marked or signed or not.

The only fancels I consider appropriate to sell 
are original poses or fancels from screen 
captures for series that are completely computer 
colored -- for which there ARE no real cels. Even 
given that, since the characters are not the 
property of the artist, you're still in a legal 
grey zone. . . But I'm not a lawyer.

Many Sharp Smiles,
--Drac
