Talk: Ripping off Artwork: A discussion

    I have to agree with Daniel that it is VERY nice to see your name
  retained as the original artist of a picture that someone diddles.
  I was very gratified that both Daniel and Normand put my name on their
  diddles of the lovebirds, especially since their version looked completely
  different from my original.

  You wouldn't collect a Monet and try to pass it off as your own, so why
  do it with ASCII art?  Susie is a tremendous artist with a style that is
  so unique anyone familiar with this art form can instanly recognize it.
  It's just stupid for someone to try and rip off one her drawings.  I for
  one get really angry when I see someone trying to claim something that is
  OBVIOUSLY not their work.  Some of us (like me) haven't developed a 
  personal style yet so it's easy to pass off our work as your own.  Please
  don't.  We work very hard and put in a lot of time creating these pictures.
  Why not spend some time creating your own pictures?  Something you can
  be really proud to call your own.

 Tina
