I am interested if you have found an answer to this question, and if 
you have, I would most like you to share it with me.

I am a printer and I have been considering some of the same uses that 
you mentioned. But, I believe that with registered images it would be 
copyright infringment. This is my own thought, but I do not know the 
answer to your question.

What I am asking is - There is no trademark on Ascii Art shared in the 
channel unless it is said so, right? I also wish to know what you found 
out as an answer to your question. And if you do not mind tell me I 
would like to know where your curiousity stems from in asking that 
question... are you a graphic designer perhaps...?


Thanks in advance....

Ken Klingensmith
