    Business Fake Celeb - How to do it offshore?

    Hey guys,

    I'm a 3D artist, and am able to make Celeb lookalikes via CGI. It's not perfect, but I've validated the idea, and it looks like people will pay for it.

    Just a few things:
    - I am from Australia, but would like to do this 'offshore'. It looks like what I would be doing *should* be protected under parody laws, but that wouldn't stop celebs suing, which would eat up all of the profits to defend.

    1. Should I register the domain via internet.bs - is this still the standard for this kind of thing?
    2. Who should I host with?
    3. How would I receive payments - would I have any hope with CCbill or Instabill? Are there other alternatives?

    Thanks in advance guys, really excited to get to work on this project

                      Is this one you did for Beyonce? The resemblance is striking!

                          Have luck making enough "profit" to pay for the free half-hour consultation with your lawyer.

                              You WANT the celebs to sue you! They wouldn't have a case because it is indeed protected speech, and you would get more traffic than God as a result of them suing you!

                                  You can't figure out how to post a photo but you want to run an sue proof off shore pay site.

While public figures, like politicians, do not have certain rights of publicity -- political cartoons, etc. -- private persons -- like Paris Hilton do have 'Right of Publicity'. This is not copyright law, it is common law. The following would apply in the US state of California, jurisdiction may be an issue.

When the art of skill and talent is "manifestly subordinated to the overall goal of creating a conventional portrait of a celebrity so as to commercially exploit his or her fame, then the artist's right of free expression is outweighed by the right of publicity."
