> it's OK, unless you suddently start making a substancial bit of money
Making money has nothing to do with it. You can give the game away for free, if the owner's of Jack Sparrow decide to sue they have a case. They may not win if the game only has a character that looks like Jack, but if the character is also a pirate, with a ship called the Black pearl, then they probably will.
