also at Stanford University link above: http://fairuse.stanford.edu/Copyright_and_Fair_Use_Overview/chapter12/12-b.html#3 "A person's name or image can be used for commercial purposes without permission if the commercial use qualifies as free speech. This generally occurs when the use is categorized as a parody. (For more information on trademark parodies see Chapter 10. For more information on copyright parodies, see Chapter 9)." But in the case of a commercial - or even free face pack we aren't talking parody. So while each individiual may create celebrity faces for their own "parody" use they may not distribute the faces for commercial reasons. Even if the Celebrity faces was a free package it still benefits bugle1 (or whomever cretes them) through publicity and such. If I bought bugle1's morph package and created a celebrity face of say the president putting missile somewhere bin laden doesn't like (use your own imagination) that could be a parody/caricature/political cartoon and that would be fine (with a disclaimer if the image is realistic). But if Bugle1 created the celebrity faces as a promotion to his package (you do see where that is going right??)...
