# no, plagiarism is usually just the written or spoken word,

that's is just copyright infringement

(edit - it can also be ideas, but you're just stealing the picture, not the idea)

# if you aren't angry

# its ok.
you can copy write something, but that's for newspaper people, who take the articals and re-type them for putting in the newspaper

# hmm
wouldn't know since i'm not a brit. but even so, plagiarism is typically just a specific form of copyright infringement involving the words.

# sorry
though if you hurt yourself slapping your own head you need motor skills help

# tip for future refference
images with large blocks of colour are better as gifs because of their compression algorithm. jpegs are better for images with smooth colour transitions.

# thanks
i didn't know that
i've always been saving stuff as jpegs because i have photodeluxe which doesnt animate gifs...
i am so deprived...

# its quite alright
it just helps you keep your image quality up and your file size down


edit: as a gif it comes to around 0.8KB instead of 20KB

# With an image that simple,
the only thing that would really count against you is the fact that you yourself are asking whether or not it's plagiarism. That implies knowledge of guilt. If you removed that first line, people would just see a smiley face that could resemble any number of characters if you adjusted the proportions a tiny wee bit.
