Copyright law does not specify how "creative" a work must be to be covered. If Techdirt had redrawn it themselves, there would have been no infringement. But they didn't. They used my copyright image without permission, which I would easily have given, or attribution, which would have been almost as good, and is a common professional courtesy.
Again, I don't have a big problem with their using it, but it's important that people understand the facts about copyright, and not think, as you apparently do, that there are criteria, like a supposed lack of creativity, that excuse infringement.
