Agreed. That seems to be the way that kind of thing would play out. One observation: I've read opinions (one or two) that have qualified "depiction" using a term like "indistinguishable" or similar. (I'm having trouble finding one on the fly, but I think it was out of Wisconsin.) I think they're looking for a way to characterize it regardless of the medium and with the intent to lead an observer to believe that the depiction is of the actual person. I don't think it's enough to create a caricature or cartoon bearing the likeness of a real person, e.g., the trope of portraying a political figure as a naked baby.
