Yes ... your hero ChuckWeasel ... 

You abused a private picture and you had no right to copy it.

I think it's called "parody" and it's protected and free speech in the
US. But I do thank you for the refreshing honesty of admitting it's
you. 

Your right of "free speech" does not dismiss my ownership of the
copyright and author's rights.

_copyright 

It's missing any claims of copyright for starters but:

"The Supreme Court of the United States stated that parody "is the use of 
some elements of a prior author's composition to create a new one that, 
at least in part, comments on that author's works."

I'd have a hard time arguing a picture of yourself is a composition given 
that the original had no context. I'm also missing how anyone could make 
any kind of profit from it. It'd be more of an extortion threat. "Send me 
50 dollars or I'll paste copies of this on your windows." That might work 
but Halloween is over until next year. 

Try, try again...
