*sigh* so many pointless complications... i don't understand how *anyone* could possible claim that a SCAN of SOMEONE ELSE'S illustration which is in the public domain could be considered their own intellectual property, protected by copyright... that makes no sense to me.

a hand-drawn *copy*, maybe. but a scan ??? seriously ???
