killerspork33: for the most part,

seashellullaby seems to credit for the icons she uses, and i have seen several people with icons very similar to that bucky/mirror one (though maybe you are referring to a different icon). if it's that important, feel free to report it to lj abuse, but there's not really much you can do to get them to credit. i hope you know all this.

otherwise, i am sorry

mbarrick was giving you such a hard time about simply asking someone to credit. you had a very valid request, and i think he was unjustly antagonistic towards you. and as for

local81... i am very pissed at their comments and am very tempted to ban them. if they bother you again, please let me know. i will not tolerate those kinds of comments in my community, and have already warned them to watch their future comments.

i hope this doesn't deter you from commenting in the future.

	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.
