There are all sorts of “likeness rights” though, which are often lumped with copyrights and trademarks.
A model has rights for her likeness not to be used to promote something without her or him getting paid. It could be put under the same umbrella that no one has rights for my data.
- kube-system 6y agoYes, I agree, this is a more appropriate angle. Someone who invokes their right of publicity is generally making a claim that someone has violated trademark law. This is NOT a modification to copyright law, though -- both rights exist concurrently. A photographer who takes a photo of a trademark retains the copyright to the photo, and the owner of the mark concurrently owns the trade rights to the mark. To my point -- this idea is entirely a separate concept from copyright law. It is not a modification to copyright law.
