"for purposes of advertising"
It's not advertising if you don't pay.
At least I think, I mean is SE submissions
advertising you site?
I think the people that pay for banners at yahoo are advertising.
My site just had a gallery of Kathy Ireland, no porn. No porn associated. No porn links.
Just a gallery of about 30 pictures. And her name was probably in the meta tags, and might have been in a search engine. Not sure on that.
I think you can use celebrity names in your meta tags if you want. I mean if you read that the max fine was $750, I don't know how they would prove damages.
And if you use the name "Kathy Ireland" or "Alyssa Milano" and you have no pictures on your site of them, can't you just argue it's someone else you're talking about?
I think the people that really get fried are the pay sites that have the names and pics on their splash sites and on their banners, cause they are using the celeb image to soliciate sales of a service.
My suggestion is to find out the names of the celebs that Lin Milano represents and don't use those ones.
Otherwise you should be fine.
I got a warning. Usually people warn before they sue.
The law can probably be used to sue you if you run a celebrity site.
But in reality there are tons of celebrity sites and people don't get sued.
They will go after famousbabes.com before they go after you, if you notice Kathy Ireland and Alyssa Milano aren't on his site. I think you would be fine using any of the names on his site.
Peace,
