Reading that page, I figure the new image, or rather, the older 200px one is a transformative artwork, and so it's ok. So it is safe as far as de minimus and transformative goes, just have to work out how to troll proof it from useless DR's :) I'll go ask my friend who does polandballs how to avoid DR's and then do the opposite of whatever they advise. :) [[User:Penyulap|'''Penyulap''']][[User talk:Penyulap| ☏]] 21:34, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

:So the basic idea is to take a copyrighted photo, throw lots of photoshop filters at it, reduce the resolution significantly and then declare it "own work" and PD? Huh. I'm kind of doubtful this would work out in any conceivable way, but if it does, all the better, I guess. --[[User:Conti|Conti]]|[[User talk:Conti|✉]] 22:20, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

: I think copying someone else's work violates their copyright, even if you scale it down enough. If you're using it for the same purposes, it's not transformative.--[[User:Prosfilaes|Prosfilaes]] ([[User talk:Prosfilaes|talk]]) 22:26, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
