- ak217 14y agoYou have a very poor understanding of DMCA if you think that. There is no way that law can apply here.
- mynameisvlad 14y agoHave you seen the icons so you can judge it for yourself? I have. At best, it's inspired by the LV ones.
- pi18n 14y agoActually under no circumstances whatsoever can copying an icon cross the line into actual theft. It's possible to cross the line into actual copyright infringement.
- visarga 14y agoYeah, if the icon in discussion is pixel for pixel identical to the "original", including the dithering and anti-aliasing, that would prove copying. But they have just similar concepts and colors. One black shoe might seem similar to another, but they don't infringe on copyright. One fashion creation from Zara might be quite similar to another one from a no-name, but if they slightly move one button or pocket, it's a new design.
- pi18n 14y agoI agree with this. I'm just pointing out that without even observing the icons in question I can assert that no theft occurred.
