  Mmmm... if he\she didn't copied it, then he/she can say the

  same thing about my cat.



 c(D> When did you actually first make your cat ?  There have been similar

  I did it about a year ago.

  Have you saw it earlier ?

  Mmmm... so do you know Michelle Bishop E-Mail address ?  :)



 c(D> So Michelle Bishop was the original author of this cat ?  Shall we

  Yes.  I think we should.

  Correct.

  I don't use does 'A', so i'm the original one.

  As I said, i'm very original.



 c(D> So do we now have a Federal Case on which kitty picture came first ?

 c(D> All those cats are simple but do have some real differences on close

  WOW, you analyzed the process of the cat.  Cool.  :)



 c(D> However, it certainly raises a few questions:

 c(D> At what point does a diddled picture taken from an original become

 c(D> a new picture attributable to the diddler ?

  Huh?



 c(D> If someone diddles a picture should the  diddler  put  the  original

 c(D> author's  name  on a diddled version of the picture,  which might be

 c(D> having his name on it ?

  I think he should mention that the picture isn't original, and

  that it's taken from someone.



 c(D> Tricky can of worms isn't it ?

  No!



 c(D> You have to be comfortable with what you choose to do. It is no big

 c(D> deal really because Ascii Artists do not make $$$ for their work...or

 c(D> do they ?  Hmm...   *8-)

  Some of them do.

  In my case, no bucks are involved :(, I want money  :)
