Fortunately this falls in the "fair use" for comedy and cannot be prosecuted under the copyright law, even if you have such a restrictive license. To be funny and honest still is the right of every human being. You would have to go to "public image" damages (or whatever it is in US) and ask for a compensation and/or public apology, which I believe anyone in his/her own mind would do it. cheers, --renato -- Reclaim your digital rights, eliminate DRM, learn more at http://www.defectivebydesign.org/what_is_drm
