The copyright question

The copyright question

Let me put this a different way:

  If any of you wants to become better known for your ascii art,
  what's the best way to make that happen?

1) Be protective of your creations and hassle people who don't ask
permission/ include attribution?

2) Do everything you can to propagate the *art*, confident that people
will grow curious about the authors eventually?


Kangaroo made a tool that could have helped.  But you've gone and
screwed it up by your possessiveness... :^(
