Until now the situation has been rather different: people got annoyed because other people's art was posted without initials. So I think there's another solution: 3/ do not care Most people like to share their pictures and not everyone cares about signing every picture or about getting credit. I wonder if those liked you as their speaker. I actually digged out some names for drawings I got from Miss Kitty's posts. When I emailed those artists (just to make sure that I was adding the right names) they were surprised and happy that their pics are still alive and kicking. Noone was worried about the fact that credits were stripped off. I think there's no good in complaining unless you really know that the artist would. > Sorry to sound so blunt, but if somebody requests a picture, and you > post a relevant piece of art, without initials, there is no knowing how > far the piece may travel around the web in it's stripped form. Indeed. That's the way those pictures got back here. You cannot protect drawings. Someone somewhere will remove the credits. I don't think it's fair to dump the pictures too just because the initials fell off. > Just an opinion (: dito. :) Andreas + _____ |\. __ __________Ignorant Ascii______________________ ~ ---" ASCII? ~ ..-.,._..- _' .--. .. http://www.stud.uni-hannover.de/~freise/ _. $"$ ._ (_ . `. `.___...---... ~ \/oo.\/ `./ \ ) `"""---...--.. ~ ~ . .-.__).(a8P. `--' a:f8a . `--'`-.. ~ / \\-/\)8P | | "888P" . ` . `. ~ `- ^'// ---' |.-' . `-..

I don't care if my pics are sent around without my initials. In fact I don't even sign them all. I do care if someone else puts their initials on my work however....but it really is no big deal...I just let them know and go on...*S* > > > Sorry to sound so blunt, but if somebody requests a picture, and you > > post a relevant piece of art, without initials, there is no knowing how > > far the piece may travel around the web in it's stripped form. > > Indeed.

Please note that people are going to get annoyed if you post their art without initials. There are two solutions to this problem: 1/ find out who did the work before you post. 2/ do not post. Sorry to sound so blunt, but if somebody requests a picture, and you post a relevant piece of art, without initials, there is no knowing how far the piece may travel around the web in it's stripped form. Just an opinion (:

But when someone posts my drawings saying that they are their own, or implying it like "here are some drawings I have" ... that pisses me off. About Miss kitty ... well, she's making a carrer of posting without initials, I've even seen she posting things where she forgot to remove the initial and after a while post it again without the inicial. So I really don't believe find you the inicials for the drawings you're posting is gonna do anything, and most of them are also refered here by their own authors or by people that knows their work. I don't like it, but then again, as long as you don't claim it as your own ...

-> Please note that people are going to get annoyed if you post their

->
-> 1/ find out who did the work before you post.
-> 2/ do not post.
As you wish....let the newsgroup fill up
with spam. Have a nice life...asshole!
-> Sorry to sound so blunt, but if somebody requests a picture, and you

-> how far the piece may travel around the web in it's stripped form.
So what?! If someone sees it, they can re-claim it as their own!
The pictures I posted are old stuff that I found, and they DID
NOT HAVE INITIALS! I kdon't know how many times I have to repeat
that. I don't remove the initials, I just reposted a neat picture
that I found....if you'd rather have pyschic hotline spam, and
nude, nude, nude! advertisements, rather than a picture, so
be it!
-> Just an opinion (:
Stick your opinion up your ass!

You are right...there is a vast amount of Ascii Art without initials or indication of the author...and I am willing to accept that you are not stripping off initials but surely, _some_ of the pictures you obtain for re-posting must carry initials or author identification ? Do any of your pictures ever carry credits or just that one from Row ? Bye,

If they come with identification, then they are obtained that
way....

I have lots of stuff with initials - snd/jgs/carter/fl/etc....
They just didn't have anything I wanted to post at that moment...
Now, "moose" we continue this stupid thread?
