Also, I recognize that me raving about the Book of Kells overlooks something important: of course it's better to see parts of it online than never to see it at all, just like you can look at a facsimile version of Shakespeare's folio if you can't get your mitts on a real copy (but then, who can?).

Mostly because well, you don't own anything with it. You license it. I try not to get into a meddle with those copyright issues until they are all sorted out.
