Hey did you know that according to copyright law, if you have the c with a circle on anything it's copyrighted internationally.
Also, those
text only any icon that is original, whether through text, pictures, or animation, is protected under copyright. As long as it's not something anyone else has produced, those icons are protected under copyright. So basically, if you steal original icons, and the person who made them has the little c with a circle somewhere on a page (along with their name and the year) with the icon indicating that that image is copyrighted, you could be sued.
Good to know.
So this icon is copyrighted.
