Re: QUESTION: Does ascii-art violate copyright protection?

Calvin and Hobbes ARE NOT violations of copyright laws...in the
last Calvin and Hobbes book,in the intro i believe, you will
find Bill Waterson saying that he HAS NOT copyright protected any of his
characters. Thus, those stickers you see of Calvin pissing on
something are free to use...so C&H ascii's probably would not
violate any laws, yet (in my opinion) the use of other figures
on items made to be sold would be a violation.
i may be wrong on all of this but i'm pretty sure.
