how are you handling licensing (use of celebrity or any other person's image) and copyright (original image is not from user, so is likely copyrighted by someone else)?

Is this not a case of being allowed for personal use and/or satire vs publishing the rendered works and then stepping on copyright?
This is something our customers need to deal with
This is a strange answer when having celebrities on your home page and a demo of famous people.
We demo with people without copyrights and have strict terms of use
Depending on jurisdiction, you may find that this isn't exactly the case.
