- Francis_Davey 16y agoWhere does this odd idea come from? I read the iStock page, but I have no idea what legal basis this might have.
- pbhjpbhj 16y agoIt's a joke "royalty free" is a double entendre, it means both without paying a royalty charge OR without a member of the royalty present. That said recognisable public figures who trade on their personal image have protection under trademark law for commercial use of their image (note that commercial has a broad definition wider than just "financial gain").
