Regarding the legal situation wrt HarryT's avatar, that wasn't settled (even though HarryT and the copyright holders of the character, model, and photograph respectively were all in the same legal jurisdiction). We didn't even get consensus on the moral question. The closest we came was agreeing that the copyright holder of the Dalek image was unlikely to come after HarryT for the usage.

If you can make the image without trespassing on the homeowner's property, you have the right to take the image - and use it for "editorial" or "artistic" purposes. Using it for "advertising" purposes requires the homeowner's permission.
