Thanks for the reference. It is always nice when common sense prevails. Prior to reading this I had started writing letters to all my clothing manufacturers asking for public performance licenses for my apparel. I knew it was illegal to photograph me in copyrighted clothes, but I hadn't considered that the mere act of wearing them might be illegal. My bad.

I can report that I have redonned my apparel, proudly wearing case law as a necktie. (No photos please*)

*what ever happened with that westlaw v mead thing after all? Is a necktie woven from case law still okay?
