You can put pictures of dave and stuff on there I believe.. a while ago, Brock(I think) put a dmb southpark style picture on mugs and stuff on a website and people bought them.. I don't think it's against copyright

Go for it, it's not like the cops will show up and arrest you. If anything redlight will get in contact with you to tell you to stop, but i doubt it

Usually, you can recreate things like that for personal use but not for resale or distribution. I don't think the government would hunt you down over a coffee mug.

I think that would technically be illegal, but once again, I doubt the government or lawyers are going to come after you over a few coffee cups.

I am not a lawyer and all that (just a lowly law student)...

You could be infringing the copyright of the person who took the picture (in fact, you likely would be, by creating a derivative work of the picture).

Dave doesn't have a copyright in his face, but you could be violating his right to publicity.

Will either of them find out and sue you? Dunno. But they could.
