  4. To rip something, is the same as copying another artists work and use it
  5. in your own production with your tag instead of the real authors. Rip-
  6. ping has been a part of the Ascii-scene for a long time now. People
  7. being accused for rip's in collections is something that aint to uncommon
  8. in collections from years ago, and recently happened 'quarrels'.
  9.  
  10. To describe this as simple as possibly, I choosed to include two of all
  11. thee quarrels trough times, I have NOTHING against the artists involved,
  12. and the reason I choosed these two was only a coincident.
  13.  
  14. The first one is from an 'oldskool' colly by 911, where he accuses Exocet.

  85. As you could see, quarrles have always been a sad part of the ascii-scene,
  86. a more recent, acctually pretty noticed, quarrel was between Desoto and
  87. Czar, or more likely between Fatal and Czar, since fatal were the one who
  88. spoke for desoto. Czar had ripped Desotos dot-characters, and Fatal proved
  89. this in a textfile where he compaired the logos in a way which looks like
  90. this;

  121. If all people who have 'borrowed' others ascii should be mentioned here,
  122. a way to long and sad list would appear. But this is something that noones
  123. likes, and I really hope that it is something that will disapear in the 
  124. future.
  125. There is many types of 'ripping' too. These are four of the ways to rip;
  126.  
  127. 1. To 'snap' out a part/whole logo from someone elses works.
  128. 2. To 'snap' out characters from someones else so you could write whatever
  129.    you like with the other ones style.
  130. 3. To take a single/some few characters from someone else and use them
  131.    together with your ordinary style. The most common way of ripping.
  132. 4. To look at someone elses art and try to/succeed with a freehand copy
  133.    of it just because you thought it looked nice. The most harmless way.
