Sure, you can say that because you don't create it.
I imagine that you would feel differently if you spent
time and effort on the ASCII art (besides copy/paste).

ASCII art does follow the internet copyright laws.  But
in most cases, the ASCII art which has been posted has
been done so for the benefit of other people.  If the
artists wanted to keep it to themselves, the pics would still be
sitting on their hard-drive or on disk.  So yes, the ASCII
art on the net is there to share with other people.  But
be considerate and give credit where credit is due.
Use the pics wisely.  Don't take credit for making some-
thing which you didn't.  There is no excuse for rudeness
or irresponsibility.
