Not quite the same thing. If I was using his image for commerce then it would in fact require a deal. I can argue "fair use" as I'm using it as parody and not for profit. Plus the income of his estate cannot be impacted by the 64x64px image.
But hey, if it makes you feel better about pirated music, go for the moral equivalence. We all make our own lines in the sand as none of this is black and white.
