Text1
Recently, the right of public personalities to direct and profit from all commercial exploitations oftheir fame has gained widespread acceptance. Recognition of this “right of publicity,” however, hasraised difficult questions concerning the proper scope and duration of the right as well as itsrelationship to free speech and free trade interests. Often, the “type” of personality, be it anentertainer, politician, or athlete, also weighs on this decision-making process.
The right of publicity protects economic interests of celebrities in their own fame by allowing them tocontrol and profit from the publicity values which they have created. Before courts recognized thisright, celebrities’ primary protection against the unauthorized commercial appropriation of theirnames or likenesses was a suit for invasion of privacy. Privacy law, however, proved to be an
inadequate response to the legal questions presented by celebrities seeking to protect their economicinterest in fame. Whereas privacy law protects a person’s right to be left alone, publicity law
proceeds from adverse assumptions. Celebrities do not object to public attention—they thrive on it. However, they seek to benefit from any commercial use of their popularity.
A celebrity’s public image has many aspects, each of which may be appropriated for a variety ofpurposes. Plaintiffs(persons bringing a suit) have sought to protect various attributes including:name, likeness, a particular routine or act, characters made famous by their celebrity, unique style,and biographical information. In deciding whether the right of publicity applies to particularattribute, courts consider underlying legal and policy goals.
Two goals support recognition of the right of publicity: the promotion of creative endeavor and
prevention of unjust enrichment through the theft of goodwill. Courts determine the scope of publicityrights by balancing these policies against offsetting First Amendment and free trade interests. Recognizing the celebrity’s ability to control the exercise of some personal attribute may limit the“speech” of would-be appropriators and give the celebrity a commercial monopoly. Thus, the value ofpromoting creativity and preventing unjust enrichment must outweigh negative constitutional andcommercial repercussions(effects) before courts extend the right of publicity to any particularattribute.
The value of a publicity right in a particular attribute depends largely on the length of time such aright is recognized and protected by the law. Courts disagree on whether publicity rights survive thedeath of their creators. Some courts advocate unconditional devisability. They emphasize that theability to control exploitation of fame is a property right, carrying all the characteristics of thetitle. Other courts conclude that the right of publicity terminates at the celebrity??s death. Thesecourts fear that recognizing postmortem(after-death) publicity rights would negatively affect freespeech and free trade.
The right of publicity, especially in the cases of well-known politicians and statesmen, oftenconflicts with First Amendment interests and thus should be defined with care and precision.
