Sven:

By now you have read Lennert Stock's post and my follow-up to it reposting
my copyright notice.  He's correct; ALL ascii art is copyrighted; however,
I gave written notice of copyright in this group.  I have a personal email
from you informing me, and I quote:  " Well, I have been subscribed to
this group for almost four years now . . . ."  Ingnorance of the law is no
excuse, and in this case you can't even claim that. 

You are in clear violation of copyright on work of both Felix Lee and me. 
From my tech writing days I know that Germany respects USA copyrights. 
You have two choices:  1) you can post an apology to both Felix Lee and me
publically in both <alt.ascii-art> and <rec.arts.ascii> AND stop being
mean, cruel, and sarcastic to people in both those groups [I will be the
judge of whether the apology and/or future behavior is acceptable] OR 2)
you can deal with the formal complaint I will file first with
<roo...@math.fu-berlin.de> and, if that doesn't correct your behavior, I
WILL take it further.  I don't know if you're a student or the janitor or
what, but I have saved enough obnoxious posts of yours that, coupled with
your destruction of copyrighted art, any institution is going to find your
behavior most unprofessional. 

I have no idea what, if any, action Felix Lee may choose to take; I speak 
only for myself.
