Most states now recognise ROP. So your client is likely going to argue a fair use/parody/transformative use/ etc. defence (w.e applies in that jxn). I guess the question is, how strong of an argument do you have saying that ROP (an economic right) is less important than the public’s ability to express itself. Hate to say it...but it depends on the state, whether people are likely to perceive it as parody, etc.

(Obviously a broad stroke of the brush here)
