I'll also add that the list is written in such a way as to heavily suggest that the people on it have committed sexual assault. Whether or not the authors try to add a little BS, after-the-fact disclaimer that their "warnings" aren't actually accusations of any crimes probably isn't enough. Virtually everyone on…

That line is generally not a legal line, except that most historical figures are dead and most publicity right laws are limited to the life of the individual or a limited amount of time thereafter. A person's rights in their image and persona are not defined by how they're famous but by how it's used. The first…

I never claimed it was a biography. You did however claim that being a public figure removes your right to control your image, and I was pointing out at least one example where that definitely isn't true.

There are few legal distinctions between someone in prison for life and in prison for not-life. There's nothing in the law that affects their right to publicity based on that.

Being in jail doesn't take away your right to publicity. Chris Brown is in jail. Why isn't anyone taking the opportunity to sell Chris Brown branded artisanal miniature cupcakes, or Team Breezy signature headphones?

You have to think about a "right to publicity" sort of like a trademark, but a trademark in your image and persona. It protects the public persona of a celebrity, when used to make money, in roughly the same way the celebrity would use it to make money. I can't, for instance, sell "Brittney Spears" branded…

Jerry Springer did either a segment or a spinoff back in the 90s which was something like this. I recall at some point, when seeing people come out swinging on the show got old, they had the big bald bouncer dude, I think his name was Steve, go out to random a-hole's houses and harass them where they lived. It…

As a guy who did the dating site thing (where I met my fiance) I hear you, but I disagree. Random people don't deserve the sort of total honesty you're pitching here, out of the box. That's something you earn over the course of a relationship with someone.

It happens a lot and it's often a fair request. Sometimes neo-nazis will ask the court to let them cover up their tattoos so the jury doesn't prejudge the case based on how they look.

I feel like the smart move here would be to cop to some manner of simple battery and concentrate on fighting the more serious charges. I.e., "sure, I beat the hell out of her, but that's been dealt with. I certainly didn't intend to kill her and you can't prove any of the sexual stuff."

If you snap pics of strangers the copyright is normally yours, but that creates a whole host of problems related to the subject's privacy and publicity rights.

If there is something in your life that you are using as a basis of comparison to say that this picture looks like a vagina, then I have something very important to tell you, son.

So looking at the list you've provided of infractions which have resulted in worse penalties, one obvious critique comes to mind. One could say, the penalties you cite as being worse are predominantly things that directly relate to the player's performance in-game. Because the league is primarily concerned with the…

Mulan and Red Riding Hood took a journey to the magical realm called Their Own Unrelated TV Shows.

"Surprisingly, the thirty recruiters tracked over the ten-week study spent nearly a fifth of their time (19%) on a LinkedIn profile looking at the profile photo."

I came to hate Farcry 2 because, for all the effort they put into creating an immersive first-person experience, the world was dead. You may have been in a war with two sides and oppressed civilians on the fringes, but it didn't matter because everyone always wanted to kill you. Here's a village. Who lives there? …

It seems as though a lot of people were satisfied enough with the version of the game they played. Maybe the real issue here wasn't that the game was abandoned in fact, but that the people building the game had no idea how to speak to their audience.
