Shit! You're broadcasting the Hertzfeldt stuff
run before the lawyers get here. It's The Neville all over again.

Wasn't it Neville who was threatened by the Hertzfeldt lawyers
over copyright and stuff.

At least I think it was Neville but one of the b3tans
was threatened over using a vaguely similar style to Hertzfeldt all of his stuff has since been taken from his website and shoved on a dvd/cd for sale. So the one who brought us "I'm a consumer whore!" turned into a corporate whore and there my opinion of the bloke was forever sullied.

styles aren't protected by copyright
copyright protects expression, not ideas. So if I draw a hand ticking a box, I can't stop anyone else drawing a hand ticking a box unless theirs is identical to mine. Obviously there's a grey area but you really have to copy a specific thing before you're looking at infringement rather than use a similar style.
