I just got the link off a msg board, so I certainly have no problem with you leaving it up. My feeling about the property rights of these things is, scans are just scans, anyone could have done it, they get reposted all over the internet, and the only people who can really claim ownership are the original publishers, who would certainly turn me down if I asked for permission, but who must know they are available on jakegyllenhaalfan.com, etc.
Whereas icons, fanart, etc, where someone has actually done something to the scanned material, I think of as something that has an "owner" somewhere in the fandom, whose permission I would seek.
They are looking under the blue tarp...perhaps the lunch table, covered on a rainy day? "I don't know, Heath...I'm no expert on Canadian cuisine. But if I ever saw Rocky Mountain Oyster salad, I think that's what it would look like."
