#2From the images we've seen all side by side this seems to be a rip of someone else's work.
Nicking people stuff isn't what Hacker News is about. I've had articles I've sent hours writing and issued DMCA takedown notices, just as the same as if someone stole my code.
To take down a site using your stuff, you use a DMCA takedown notice.
- That doesn't mean you're abusing the DMCA
- That doesn't mean that the party that nicked your stuff is in the right.
UPDATE: to those discussing individual works, the issue is that the icons are not individually similar but rather that the whole set copies design elements from the other.
If FlatUI has picked more sources to be inspired from, they'd be in a better position.

I really doubt that is the sentiment here on HN (at least).

IMO, what Layervault did was wrong in issuing a DMCA for what "they" perceive as 3 images that look similar.

Your assuming someone nicked your stuff. With millions of sites out there are a lot of layouts, icons, and whatnot that look similar that are not in fact copy's. Worse designers are rarely the type of people that think of the (millions) ^ 2 possibilities.
Honestly, unless your talking about a large file with a lot of entropy your probably in the wrong sending a DMCA take-down request.

#5I'd be interested to know about the distinction between US and UK copyright here.
In the UK, copyright will only vest in something if it is an "original work"[1]. Taking LayerVault's claim, there are only so many ways one can represent a "settings" option and the use of gear symbols is so common as to mean that no copyright attaches simply because it is not original. How much skill and effort was invested in thinking about what symbols to use?

From the images I've seen side by side, it's very clearly not.

sigh Not this again.
From the images we've seen side by side, it is not a copy of someone else's work. The artwork is not identical, and is not similar enough that you have to say "they just took a copy of the artwork and altered it a little bit." That's the standard that needs to be met for the DMCA -- not "he made icons that are similar to mine," but "he downloaded my icons and used them as his own."

#8Perhaps more interesting is the 84 forks (other mirrors). Is GitHub going to remove them all?

C'om on man, We've all seen the images side by side and they are definitely not ripped off. Unless you've got a eye sight problem you should be able to see the differences.
If I drew a bracelet with round beads and you drew a bracelet with round beads does that mean I copied it from you? Of course not, If you look at the images you can see they're defiantly not ripped.
