Hello guys, I have a question regarding your cool drawings in this NG.

Do you have some ind of copyright on them, or may I use them in my
E-mail-signature?

Thanks,

 Most (if not all) people posting here would be happy to have you use their 
efforts in your sig... Provided that you leave their initials with the art.
 If in doubt, post the one you wish to use and ask here, or e-mail your request
to them directly.

Yes,copyright automagicaly goes to the author of the
ascii art...Most artists here thought grant a general liscense 
that you may use thier ascii-art as long as you leave thier
initails intact or give them credits,if you are using them
for personal things such as email or on a personal website
or some other NONprofit way...some may want you to ask
permission first........
