<p>The field is termed "personality rights" or "rights of publicity", and the coverage and enforcement vary from state to state.

<p>"Hebrew University of Jerusalem, which owns the rights to Einstein's likeness"?</p>
<p>They can take a stick up their hebrew university ass if they want to make such a fucking claim, they just lost all respect to me.</p>o.O commented on 'Einstein's Official Avatar is Coming to Second Life & There's a USD$2500 Contest to Recreate Him for the Digital Age (UPDATE: Deadline Extended)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0153916365b5970b2011-09-07T06:19:46Z2011-09-07T06:19:46Zo.Othis "right" btw would also imply that if you create now a slightly cartoonish full-mesh Einstein av (and anything else...<p>this "right" btw would also imply that if you create now a slightly cartoonish full-mesh Einstein av (and anything else wont stand a chance if they are smart) and you go in second place, you are not even allowed to sell it (under the name 'Dr Feelgoood') !!! </p>o.O commented on 'Einstein's Official Avatar is Coming to Second Life & There's a USD$2500 Contest to Recreate Him for the Digital Age (UPDATE: Deadline Extended)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef014e8b570b79970d2011-09-07T06:12:31Z2011-09-07T06:12:31Zo.O"which owns the rights to Einstein's likeness" .... i guess it should say: "which claims there is a right to...<p>"which owns the rights to Einstein's likeness" ....</p>
<p>i guess it should say: "which claims there is a right to someones likeness, and they want Einstein's" </p>
<p>Fist time ever i hear there is such a "copy right". And when i see all the commercials around the globe using Einstein lookalikes i doubt this University ever tried to claim that right in front of a court. <br />
I just cannot believe a look is copyright protected ... (if disconnected from the name) ... see also fashion, where everyone can copy everything without breaking any copyright if they just leave the protected logo away ...</p>jo yardley commented on 'Einstein's Official Avatar is Coming to Second Life & There's a USD$2500 Contest to Recreate Him for the Digital Age (UPDATE: Deadline Extended)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef015391632c32970b2011-09-07T05:40:53Z2011-09-07T05:40:53Zjo yardleyhttp://1920sberlin.com/Goodness!
