UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal
Abstract
Publicity rights, the rights to control the use of the name, likeness and photograph of a person, are now descendible by statute. The author examines recent legislation on publicity rights, specifically focusing on how it affects the descendibility of such rights. The author criticizes the legislation and proposes an alternative to what the Legislature has bequeathed to celebrities, their heirs, and the public.
