Everyone's forgotten the point of the original post has nothing to do with copyright. . . (Wed Jan 8 15:28:44 2003 )

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,
