I take it these are the illustrations in question?<p><a href="https://github.com/mgcrea/angular-7min/tree/master/app/images/workouts" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mgcrea/angular-7min/tree/master/app/image...</a><p>Did you copy the files directly from the NYT site, or did you draw these graphics using the NYT illustrations as a model?<p>If it's the latter, then the Times is in the wrong, IMHO[IANAL]... The characters and poses are generic enough, so as long as you draw them from scratch, I don't think it should count as infringement.<p>But if you actually copied the files from NYT, then you should definitely take them down.

Woah that blows. Is this your first app?
