I did a simple black and white dot >matrix printout for Des Pitfi Sounds like you are doing an artistic representation, and doing that is NOT illegal...hell, if you wanna draw a coca-cola symbol and post it, feel free...Andy Warhol didn't get in shit when he did Campbell's Soup cans for the simple reason that artistic expression overrules copyright in most cases...You will only get in trouble if you copy someone else's _copywritten_ artwork...or if you copt tracts from published or copywritten literary works...check the sigs, if they don't have (c) or some other similar symbol, then feel free. And whoever complains can pay the lawyers :) And by the way, even a (c) doesn't protect you much. Kickstart
