Really depends on the country - the US has the First Amendment, does it not? The UK allows for "parody and satire" and you can get away with pretty much anything you want here with that excuse. Of course, upset the North Koreans and they'll hack your computer and release your private emails to the world. So probably best not to use a face mask of The Supreme Leader (Kim Jong-un that is, not Donald Trump).

Hard to believe you're allowed to work with stuff like defamation while implying the character is real - when working in sections other than satire or comedic expression.

Every person, even celebrities, have their rights to live with human dignity, especially within those freedom of speech countries… I believe.

Also, if one, as I said in an extreme example before, implies the character is real and alive, then I definitely wouldn't give him a headshot on screen.

Sure you can do all of that. There are just courtrooms for that later.

Anyway, this sounds none of Brandon's problems with regards to this thread.

Brandon was asking about "mask" - I think once it is obvious that they are wearing masks it is not a situation where he is implying they are real.
