Re: That cel doesn't really belong to you (Mon Oct 2 21:06:07 2000 )

By buying a cel, you own the physical object, but 
not the image. The image is the intellectual 
property (IP) of the studio. 

Owning the cel doesn't convey any rights to you, 
such as printing the image on lunchboxes, 
tshirts, posters, etc. Hanken cels are expensive 
when purchased from the studio because the 
purchaser *does* have the rights to reproduce the 
image. 

Cel owners have no grounds to prevent people 
from "copying" the cels shown on their site. The 
cel owner has no rights whatsoever to the IP, 
only what they hold in their hand.
