- Title
IMAGE AS PERSONAL PROPERTY: HOW PRIVACY LAW HAS INFLUENCED THE RIGHT OF PUBLICITY.
- Authors
Thompson III, Robert T.
- Abstract
The law known as the right of publicity gives people the right to control the use of their names and likenesses for commercial purposes. For years, courts struggled to define the nature of publicity because of its dual influences- privacy and property. This Comment argues that the right of publicity cannot be considered exclusively as a property or privacy right, but instead a combination of the two. This Comment proposes a synthesis to interpret future right of publicity cases, arguing that the infusion of a privacy-based rationale helps to explain modern publicity case law.
