This morning I received my second Free Delivery from Iconbuffet, each from different people. I don't know how this got started but now I'm hooked. I have access to Shanghai Tech and Taipei Night Market for which I am willing to trade for Oslo Atmosphere and Finance. It might be that no one has access to these yet, in which case let me be the first to stand in line.
UPDATE — Mission accomplished. I have to hand it to Josh and the peeps at Iconbuffet, they found a way to make icons a viral community tool. That's just as brilliant as Dodge, who made it cool for macho men to drive station wagons.
Join the fray by reading through and commenting at the end.
I have the finance set if you want to do a trade : )
I've got atmosphere to trade as well.
Finance looks great, all I have is Shanghai Tech.
I will trade the finance set for either of those. Contact me at dww5 at duke dot edu
Danie and Even, use the contact form to send me your email address.
You're in Oslo? Hey, thats my country :)
Well, I have a couple deliveries left of each set. ;-) We'll be setting up a forum at IconBuffet ASAP to let the trading ensue. More new deliveries will be arriving soon as well.
Tor, no but I wish I was. The Rocket Scientist and I are thinking about hanging out for a month in Scandinavia in the future.
Oslo Finance sent your way. :)
Suh-weeet. Thanks for the tip... me signin' up now.
I would offer to trade something, but the "immediate delivery upon signing up" seems to be fubar.
So the semantics begin. Does immediate mean "within one minute", or "within 72 hours", or much worse, "within your lifetime"?
I went out and came back, twice. Still waiting... but I guess "free" demands patience. Probably rightfully so. I'll let you know what I get. :)
Bradley, you need to login, then go to the Free Delivery page to find your first free icons. If for some (very odd) reason they're not there, drop us a line. We'll hook you up.
Can someone hook me up with Taipei Night Market? I need that monkey!
I've only got Shanghai Tech

Great, but what about the comment..."While our Free Delivery icons are made available for no charge, they are protected by copyright." I'm curious how most of these 'stock' icons could be protected by copyright. Does anyone know if iconbuffet has sued anyone for selling the icons?
I have Oslo Atmosphere (5 deliveries left) and would like Oslo Finance. Anyone want to trade?
Brock: anything you or I create is automatically protected by copyright. That text is simply a reminder that, while the icons are free of charge, they are not open source. We do ask members to abide by our terms of service, which you can find at http://www.iconbuffet.com/about/tos
i have olso finance if anyone wants to trade for any other set.
John, I am a copyright attorney, which is why I asked the question. Copyright is only automatic in copyrightable matter, otherwise it does not attach. Since it sounds like iconbuffet is your business, I was just curious if the company has ever sued for infringement. We can have this discussion offline, but I'm just curious, nothing more.
