Don't feel like responding to all your points right now but one sticks out that I believe is incorrect:
Quote:
PokerStars isn't about to force somebody to post their picture in order to receive online winnings as the RPM promotion is doing.
Sorry, but this is just wrong.
Quote:
By participating in a satellite or qualifying tournament for this promotion, you grant PokerStars the right to use your name and likeness for promotional purposes without further compensation. You further agree to help promote PokerStars and act as a PokerStars spokesperson during and after the events, including but not limited to, meeting with press and participating in other events conducted by PokerStars.
This is in the Stars T&C for any player participating in the "PokerStars Passport" promotion. And similar (or identical) language is used for WSOP or EPT satellite winners and other things.
In other words, if you want to "participate in the promotion" you are granting them the use of your pic however they please.
