As usual, you've *completely* missed the point.

The original poster indicated that he was 
uncomfortable by seeing a copy of a cel he just 
bought. That is an emotional response to a 
situation. I said that I would be pissed to see a 
copy of a cel of mine for sale. That is *also* an 
emotional response. Once I own a cel, I do not 
want it to be reproduced. *If* someone came and 
asked my permission to reproduce one of my cels, 
I would ask them NOT to do so. Legally, I can't 
stop them from doing so -- as Yann pointed out, 
only the copyright holders are allowed to do 
that -- however, that will not stop me from 
feeling the way I feel about the subject. Thus, 
anyone knowingly making fancels of cels that I 
own knows they'll NOT be warmly received by me 
when we meet.

I made no argument on the legality of anything. I 
look at it as an issue of having *respect* for 
and towards the feelings of fellow collectors, 
even if you don't agree with them. Maybe think of 
it this way: It's such an easy thing NOT to do, 
and NOT doing it will make some people happier, 
so what reason is there *to* do it which is so 
important that it's worth making people mad?

However, I don't know why I bother to try and 
explain something like this to you. I'm sure that 
idea will roll right off your skull without ever 
penetrating because you've already repeatedly 
proven yourself incapable of thinking of anything 
or anyone but yourself and your own desires.

So give up the search your dreamcels in favor of 
fakes in their place. Me, I'd rather keep working 
on hunting the big game of the real thing instead 
of pretending to myself that some rodent I caught 
in my backyard is big game.

And don't bother replying to my post again. I 
won't be wasting more of my time responding to 
your whines.

Many Sharp Smiles,
--Drac
