	I wouldn't invoke LJ Abuse in your position. This community is, in and of itself, a flagrant copyright violation and therefore violates section XIV.3 of the Terms of Service (unless of course you actually have permission to republish these comics). LJ has shut down lots of comic feeds and communities like this in the past. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

no, i wouldn't want to involve lj abuse either for all those reasons, but i thought i should at least let her know since i have heard of them temporarily suspending users who refused to credit or used an icon without permission, though it is incredibly hard to prove. i have had several get fuzzy feeds shut down already, and since this one has escaped notice for so many months, i hope it will continue.

LJ Abuse wouldn't do anything anyway since the icons themselves are copyright violations, generally. Unless you actually own the copyright on the photo you used in an icon you made (if you took the picture yourself, for instance), then you don't actually have a case that LJ Abuse can act on. It's spelled out pretty clearly in the FAQ:

In general, an image or piece of writing which has been altered is still considered to be copyrighted to the person who created the original work; the altered content is usually considered derivative work which itself has the potential of being in violation of the copyright holder's work.
