OK, I waited to see Ojo's response to that particular Casso posting 
and Ojo has dealt mainly with Casso's copyright authority.  


However, look very carefully at Casso's final statement.

After announcing in earlier posts that he welcomed diddles of his 
cartoons and stein characters he has now _again_ begun to qualify 
what what he will and what he will not allow by stating now:

" however I welcome (constructive) diddles, (good humored) parodies, 
  figletizing, etc. " 

Casso continually makes numerous statements and then just changes the rules 
later as soon as something upsets him.  He demonstrates a total lack 
of integrity, reliability, and credibility.  

You can be sure that Casso did not approve of Tweeter's recent parodies 
of his cartoons even though he had given permission for diddles and 
parodies in his postings with the sole qualification that they must 
not be done by me personally. 

These Casso postings, with his constant changes to his own rules, 
can always be used in any possible challenges to his copyright claims.  

Tweeter added the following to the end of several recent postings:

Ha ha, now you understand intellectual property, now that you have 
been placed on the "damaged party" side of things!

To Colinstein: Put me on your killfile, nothing more welcome to me 
than that! 

To the rest of the newsgroup: The request not to repost the 'steins 
was addressed to Colinstein specifically. But for the others, I 
welcome diddles to the 'steins, I have even created the 'stein 
awards!
