I just have to comment on the recent copyright infringements. Looking back, I still think that we made progress. Up to about a year ago, there was no copyright awareness in this newsgroup at all, for example ascii greats posted composite pics showing Christmas trees with many presents underneath it, with many contributing artists without giving any of them any credits. Generally speaking, this does not happen anymore (or done in appropriate ways,) so we passed an initial phase 1 that had an inward (towards the ascii community itself) focus. We may conceive of a subsequent phase 2 which has an outward (towards the rest of the world) focus. This will be a slow cultural change that may take several years, considering that the change within the much smaller ascii community itself took a year. Moreover, if we all pull in one direction we may get there sooner, if we all pull in different directions, we may never get there. ========================================================= [] .oo Visit the Gallery of the 'steins!
