The real reason it’s “ok” is that it’s unlikely the owner would be able to prove damages from someone using their image as an avatar so it’s not worth taking anyone to court over it because all they would get is the judge ordering them to stop and a C&D is cheaper if the owner really cares about stopping you.


Most people get insurance through their employer and most employers at least partially subsidize the cost. This doesn’t show up on your paystub like a tax would so the only way you’d ever be aware of the true cost of your plan is if you got laid off and paid for continuation of benefits (COBRA).
