Yes. I am not a lawyer, so please don't take this as legal acumen but the Copyright Act of 1976 along with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act work together to state that any work digitally represented is copyrighted to the owner. In the case of iconator (by looking at their T.O.S) they assume that the one who uploads the work is the owner of the material.

Just because they upload their work to iconator does not mean they give consent for other to upload elsewhere. The same goes for modifications posted here. We are required by law to respect copyright so we have this clause in our general rules:

Quote:

No spreading of any copyrighted material (vBulletin or other) is to take place on this site without the expressed permission of the copyright holder, which must be attached to the material. For example, you cannot upload complete vBulletin files. Partial code is permitted, as long as it is solely for the location of the correct place in the code. Any copyrighted code snippets should be no more than 10 lines in length, unless approved by a member of Staff.

Again, please do not take this as a personal attack - it isn't.
