Is that one Ridin' Spinnaz with the swinging D in the Library of Congress?
Probably. A lot of things that have been copyrighted were required to have a copy sent to the copyright office and, by extension, the library of congress. At least in the past

The applicable portion related to these older works here
If the website ever filed for copyrights then the site contents itself may fall under the same purview.
Not what I was expecting but that's interesting in its own right.
i don't know what i was expecting
In hindsight "Swinging D" should have tipped me off. But for some reason I read it as a song name or something lol.
Edit: actually, reading a comment about "initial d" directly before probably didn't help.
NSFW!
Edit: downvoted for a warning lmao. People have jobs and I'm sure there's Jeffrey's who read/skim quickly like me.
