This is all editorial useage. The question is whether the act of walking down a public highway, wearing a T-shirt with a picture of a person(s) on it comes under this same editorial useage, or whether it is classed as 'commercial' (as in commercial gain). This would be an interesting test case! Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
