Where are the celebrity look alikes? They are located in the same place as the "offically-licensed" products... in other words, nowhere. There are 2 issues: 1) The merchant would have to get a license to make an "official" product. The company may want money upfront or a part of the sale. The company could take a month, six months, or longer to think about the license (delaying the merchant's product). 2) When the merchant sells the product, though, the product will probably include a restrictive "terms of use". So, the end user probably won't be able to use the item in commercial projects or anything that "is not appropriate to the actual item". "Inappropriate" doesn't mean "adult"- it could mean that you can't show an official Ferrari model in a crash. P.S. Free items are another matter- go to the Copyright Forum to read what is and isn't allowed in the Free Stuff section. --John
