:I couldn't find an email for [[w:Stephen Hillenburg]] so I sent one to Viacom to forward to him. He may give us a free licence for the original image which would save us further discussion.--[[User:Canoe1967|Canoe1967]] ([[User talk:Canoe1967|talk]]) 17:10, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

::Your logic about who owns the copyright to any given Spongebob image is faulty: just because Viacom claims a trademark on something doesn't mean that they can't also hold a copyright. The link you provide says nothing one way or another about who the copyright holder is. Even if it is Hillenburg, if he didn't design the balloon itself, then he doesn't own the (entire) copyright to it. A 3-D derivative of a 2-D work has novel creative elements that probably cross the threshold of originality. —[[User:Psychonaut|Psychonaut]] ([[User talk:Psychonaut|talk]]) 11:19, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
