Maybe it's not correct to call it "ascii art" on the web page (and >it would be a good idea, IMO, to add plain ascii versions as well) but >the pictures themselves are just yet another form of "coloured text >art"... Certainly, if sexii wants to post this "art", then sexii can do so. (Just don't call it ASCII-art) But more to the point, there should be a note somewhere on the page stating who the original artists are and that sexii has raped and pillaged those people's ascii-art. If an original artist objects to sexii's pillaged version, then sexii should remove the mangled version from the site. obascii-art: another example of JGS' artwork being mangled by marauders: _____ .
