While I agree that how the law currently reads there is no standing, an argument could be still be made that due to the combination of player editing and a mass-distribution system (ie Roster Lockers) that the game maker's have provided enough tools for a user to recreate a likeness and mass-distribute it. Slim chance that it would hold up, but you only need one ruling to go your way to set a precedent.
