Are National Flags Copyrighted?
If so, I'm suing the fuck out of Malaysia!

Liberia is similar:
But considering it was founded by freed American slaves, they get a pass.

Re: Are National Flags Copyrighted?
There was this argument about the red cross a while back:
From an international copyright law perspective, emblems of pure geometrical design, such as the Swiss flag or Red Cross, are not legally protected [8,9]. Only works defined as “creative art“ can be copyrighted, and an artwork must be sufficiently original to be eligible for copyright [8,9]. Common geometric forms are precluded from this definition.http://www.pssjournal.com/content/7/1/13

The Singaporeans are next on my list. It's as if someone told them, "ok, you have 30 seconds to create your national flag. Here's a few scraps from an American flag to get you started. GO!"

Re: Are National Flags Copyrighted?
That one looks more like it was inspired by the Turkish rather than the US flag if you ask me...

Fine then. Those fuckers get a pass because I'm in a good mood. But Malaysia is still on my shit-list.jaclu wrote:That one looks more like it was inspired by the Turkish rather than the US flag if you ask me...

After your successful law suit, you can move on to Australia and New Zealand. Good luck.
