ADVERTISEMENTS

11-4-2010 Michigan: In Michigan, a unnamed Senator, is proposing a bill (S-1556) which says, verbatim:Sec. 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "right of publicity act". Sec. 2. As used in this act, "right of publicity" means a property right in the name or likeness of an individual. Sec. 3. An individual who is a public figure has a protected right of publicity. The name or likeness of an individual who is a public figure shall not be used for commercial profit during his or her lifetime or for a period of 50 years after the date of the individuals death without the written consent of the individual or his or her successor in interest.Thats the whole bill, nothing more, except what it means, here we go, Newspapers can never mention the name of nor print a picture of a lawmaker without his/her written consent, during his/her lifetime -OR- for 50 years thereafter...continue to full post
