Talk: Ripping of Artwork: A discussion

->Something simple like this would do.  Ascii art is done by us hobbyists and 
-> we don't get paid for doing it.  The only thing we do get is acknowledgement
-> of what we create, and to keep one's name on a diddled picture 
-> does this.

-> So to sum up, if you take someone's artwork to use, even if you diddle it,
-> keep the name of the original artist because it's just a nice thing to do.  

Hear Hear! Signatures are Signatures; they express their creators. If you take 
something that someone else designed, be courteous...leave their name 
somewhere in there. Just a common courtesy.

Until I drew up my current SIG, I used a tiger drawn by -fl (sorry, can't 
remember the full name). I kept the by-line on to give credit where credit is 
due. Eh, maybe I'm droning on a bit. Maybe this will be ignored by most. But I 
feel that I've said my piece.
