In a nutshell, that page says only what I've
always thought should be obvious about copyright
law, which is: If you didn't create something
completely from your own imagination, chances are
best that someone else owns rights to it. Doesn't
matter if you painted it, scanned, it rearranged
the pieces of it, etc, etc.
But all the arguments of copyright are OFF THE
TOPIC of the original post. The original post
asked how people **FEEL** about this issue.
Feelings have absolutely nothing -- ZERO -- to do
with what is or isn't legal. Someone might *feel*
that all people with blond hair should be shot,
and it is legal and within that that person's
rights for them to *feel* that way, even though
it is illegal for them to *act* on that feeling.
In that exact same way, a cel collector has every
right to *feel* upset if they want to when they
see a fancel of a cel they own, even though they
can't legally force others not to make the fancel.
So long as it remains only a *feeling*, what
someone *FEELS* and what is *LEGAL* are two
completely separate things! I think that idea is
all but completely lost here.
Many Sharp Smiles,
