And goodness knows there are enough warnings on the mirc rainbow website about taking anything on it without permission. *wondering why* Too bad the same courtesy doesnt apply to the ascii community's websites--'its only ascii art'. Just take, alter, do whatever without asking if its ok. Would it be ok to take one of the files on the mirc site for download, strip all the color codes on text pictures not drawn by them, get rid of the caption enhancements and replace 'colored by' to DRAWN by--oh and 'hide' any reference to whoever wrote the macros to play the picture. Lets not forget how its so improper and downright theft to alter a mirc file. Interesting isnt it? Since you obviously promote your business via the web, you might want to share copyright food with the mirc rainbow owner--maybe not, its only a web design service you provide. regards, MariaLana ----- Posted via NewsOne.Net: Free (anonymous) Usenet News via the Web ----- http://newsone.net/ -- Free reading and anonymous posting to 60,000+ groups NewsOne.Net prohibits users from posting spam.
