Hear! Hear!  If I'm mentioned great!  If not, I know that I contributed to 
future art.  If someone rips it off for a sig ... well ... ok ....  If
someone just rips it off and says they forgot who did it and posts it again
this is fine with me ...  If they rip it off unchanged and say they did it
then this I have a problem with ... I feel as if something is stolen ...
If they diddle on it a bit and make what they consider significant changes
and say they diddled 'they don't remember whoever's work' then this is also   
ok with me ... I'm not getting any money for the work and I enjoy seeing
my work as it is passed around with acceptable credit in the terms stated
above.  If it is really a major work (and this may be questionable) put

             by

on the work and make it Freeware for free distribution of copyrighted material
to protect your credit (use your name of course) this will help tag your
work as your original work. I'm not sure of how derivative work should be 
handled, as at some point the final result does not even resemble the original
work.  Just my $.02 on the work I see on this and other ascii art boards. I
have really enjoyed these groups and look forward to a lot more material.
