Jono,
I hope you have paid despair.com to use the frowny. They have registered it
as a trademark:
http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=75502288
From the despair.com site
http://www.despair.com/demotivators/frownonthis.html):
=+=
At a press conference, Despair's COO, Dr. E.L.Kersten, announced his
intentions to sue "anyone and everyone who uses the so-called 'frowny'
emoticon, or our trademarked logo, in their written email correspondence. Ever."
Despair filed suit yesterday in a U.S. District Court in Dallas, alleging
trademark infringement against over 7 million individual Internet users. The
company has requested separate injunctions granted against each. It is
believed to be the largest single trademark dispute in history.

In an unprecedented reversal of policy, Despair Inc. has announced that it
will manufacture and sell legally-approved Frownies(tm) to the buying public
who desire to continue using them in email.
=+=
They are a liitle tongue in cheek about it... thankfully. :-)
