Interesting points, all well taken. If you don`t mind me asking; How 
do you feel about sites that allow these forgeries or fancels to be 
sold via online auctions or even better sites that specifically 
specialize in fancels? There are many fancel artists that advertise 
here. Do you place yourself at risk for allowing fancels and their 
creators, although not forgeries or forgerors, but nonetheless illegal, 
to be sold on the "free auction" site or  even posted here for sale or 
hire? Not that this site is the only location, of course not, all auctions 
that host anime currently allow for this type of commerce and actually 
more. But given the nature of the illegality of the work, and your 
expert knowledge of it being illegal, does that not make you 
indirectly a part of promoting and selling fancels that are infringing 
upon anime copyright holders? Are you neutral on this subject?

 Do you not see your complicity in helping to create a venue for 
these types of "illegal businesses" to prosper at all? There is even a 
page dedicated to such work (fancels) on Animanga for sale. Do you 
not find yourself in a ackward position given your knowlege of the 
situation? 

Or do you think that it is fine as long as collectors are satisfied and 
you receive no "Cease and Desist" orders from a copyright holder? 

Personally, I think that it is okay. Sometimes, things that are illegal are 
good or taken in moderation do no harm. If others are not harm by it 
of course. I think that is the common sense approach. But like the 
"Simpsons" case things can get stupid... That is only my opinion 
though. 

Just curious ^-^...btw,

Maybe you should not answer these questions!! ^-^ 

Sorry....
