Wow, that is considerably less egregious than I had imagined it would be.
From my initial reading, it sounded like images were outright copied, or copied and slightly altered. That is hardly the case in these examples.
If there aren't any stronger examples than these, then LayerVault wouldn't seem to have much of a basis for all this.

Wow, that's absolutely not plagiarism. Just generic concepts that have been interpreted similarly.

That may have divined inspiration from the LV icons, but that is in no way copied.

Three gears together doesn't seem to be that novel an idea either: http://thenounproject.com/noun/gears/#icon-No8949

As a graphic designer I was pre-disposed to siding with you against the pitchfork wielding pirates, but that's ridiculous. Bullshit takedown. Folded newspaper done in a minimalist style? Cogs? Face talking?
Is this a prank or art piece troll?

If anyone notice other similar icons, I can update image with side by side comparison.
*Thanks to fellow HNers for the links to the images. I just stuck it all together side by side.
Edit: Updated with more samples.
