simple as this, if i paid to have a toon done and you steal and pout in avatar, its infringement, no fair use about it.
ive seen Chuck Schultz' Snoopy used in paid top ads on GFY.
this is infringement as its finest. especially when used commercially......
ps i dont care about avatars or what people put in them, just find it funny people sitting around talking about copyright infringement when its all around them...
