Your comment is almost entirely wrong.
"Fire in a crowded theater" is trope which means the First Amendment does not protect speech that is very likely going to cause imminent harm. It has nothing whatsoever to do with property rights. It is a "trope" because in rhetoric, it almost always used incorrectly to justify First Amendment exceptions which have nothing to do with imminent harm.
Also, in the US, if you are in public a photographer can take a photo of you and publish it. You have no "property rights" over the photo whatsoever.

Not a lawyer, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought you have the right to prevent your image from being used to endorse a product without your permission.
- cjensen 7y agoYep, that is a good point about the limitations. Point I was making is there is no wholesale property right, but you make an important note.
