JR, apparently everything you know about copyright is located in a small piece of crud under your big toe. (oh yeah, bitching about spelling shows that you have no real arguement here... just trying to play BS games to distract from the issues at hand... whatever!)
You can do parody all you want - providing you have the RIGHTS to use the image. Hustler can parody Fallwell in images because they have obtained the rights to use the basic image, they didn't just crop it out of a newspaper and fuck with it.
You cannot use images that you do not have the rights for. The original artist that took the picture, plus anyone appearing in that image for which you do not have commercial rights can take action, from what I understand.
You don't have the rights to use the image from Cleos, and she has posted such. You are in violation of her copyright on that image. You have broken copyright law. Don't think so? Ask you lawyers. No grey there.
More importantly, ask them about slander and libel, and how comments made that you are intending to drive me out of business would show that your intent is not parody, but rather to harm, to limit business, and otherwise affect my livelyhood. That's not parody.
