I've been following it since it first occured, and while I don't condone copyright, I think Squidi is being nothing more than a cry baby. I'd love to put it more delicatly, but I can't think of a way to do so. So, some people have decided to honour him, by using his stuff as Avatars. Hell, free publicity. From what I've seen and heard, no one has yet tried to pass the stuff off as there own. The only catch, he hasn't always been credited. Well, when working with a range of pixels equal to 75x75, it's hard to credit someone, and still have a decent image.
As for his rant a while back on pixel art design, it's BS, IMHO. He basically was saying that almost all pixel art would be infringing on his copy right, because there are only so many different variations of a pixel character. Not his intention, but that's how I saw it. I've lost a lot of respect for Squidi, especially after the whole deal with Scott Kurtz (who does PvP). While I still enjoy the comic, I do not think of him as being very professional.
