For what it's worth, gimme-website is prolly not gonna get sued over Nyan Cat:

Quote:
Is Nyan Cat copyrighted?
Quote:
Nyan Cat is eligible for copyright protection, but it seems the creator (Chris Torres, AKA PRguitarman) has not taken any steps to prevent its use by others.

On the other hand, the phrase "Nyan Cat" has been registered as a trademark, notably not by Chris Torres, for "Entertainment services, namely, providing a web site featuring photographic, audio, video and prose presentations featuring animated NYAN CAT character with music and effects."
Not good when designers plagiarize to the point that their design is indistinguishable from copyrighted work. Not much original or creative in doing that, imho.
