I'm not a lawyer, nor am I even someone who has spent any kind of time reading about the law... but even I know I can't stick a picture of Jarome Iginla on a box of cookies and try to sell them at Safeway.
Come on man. You don't need a familiarity with intellectual property, just a familiarity with common sense.
