What? A public image...is copyrightable??? I mean, it was publicly aired from a show, it's only an image from a HUGE sequence of images, and it can be copyrightable??? So, what's next? Banning of TVs and videorecorders? Then, banning of EVERY stuff capable in capturing an image of a real thing, such as photographic cameras and camcorders? Then, no more pencils, pens, watercolors... AFAIK, when a public person go, well, public, as Lettermann in his show, then his image is no more covered by copyright, otherwise I could force every person with some resemblance to my face to go change his... Actually, if his face is copyrightable, he can quit doing shows as he can gain WAAAAYYYY more money suing all the newspapers, sites and so on that have his face in them, from the very start of his career. Oh, are you worried about the actual "real show ambience"? Eh, so next no more satyr (???), no more jokes about every public person or program or show, the politicians can catch you only for a one time spelling of the "Congress" word... I think this is going too much farter than the right measure. P.S. - And if you change the talk show pic with a poserized one, be sure not to resemble ANY of the real talk shows, as they can sue you for using their "idea"...bah!
