Lizard Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 I've tried searching and asking others..so now I'm asking y'all..are internet smilies copyrighted? I have a few in mind..lets see if we have them here: :angry: :ohmy: :stank: Those, and a few others..the yellow ones, mostly. Anyone know?
Amethyst Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Probably, but nobody is making us pay money for them. Actually, wasn't there some guy in France a while back who tried to copyright a smiley face and lost?
Lizard Posted February 20, 2007 Author Posted February 20, 2007 Hmm..well, I just want to paint them..I started it yesterday anyway. Not like I'm going to sell it or anything. And the has been around forever, everyone uses that one..
Vigile Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Go for it. If there was a law against incorporating copywrited items into artistic work then we wouldn't have this: Painting by Andy Warhol
