I think my previous one got deleted..... Blah Blah....

Okay, I was browsing through the submitted pics for 10-7-06.... To my suprise, I saw a smiley face that looked very alike to some ads and the same smiley face I saw around the net....

I think my previous statement was deleted, cuz I didn't have PhotoBucket or whatever..... So here it is.... In PhotoBucket.....

I believe this was stolen, due to the rest of his gallery looking much, MUCH different....

Any other comments or such?? Thank you for your time.......

It's not exactly like it but this is what I found on smileycentral.

I had to take a screenshot for it.

Now they do look a bit different (not just colour because that can be changed easily) so it's a tough call, but I do feel like I've seen that purple one somewhere....but where.....

Yeah, it looks very much alike....... I still don't think that it counts as their own art....... It's still the same format and such, just different colors........

From a glance, it looks to me like a close reproduction rather than an actual copyright violation.

But it may need more looking into first.
