Fair Use of Names & Faces: Exceptions to the Right of Publicity

911 Media Arts Center
Seattle, WA

Attorney Bob Cumbow will take artists and attorneys who advise artists through the maze of state laws governing the rights of both celebrities and nobodies in the use of their names and faces, looking at when itâs okay to use an identifiable person (living or dead) in a work of written or visual art, and, on the other side, when itâs best to get permission. Bob will look at how Washingtonâs Personality Rights Act addresses these issues, recent important developments in this area of law, and how these issues have been dealt with in other jurisdictions. Cases have involved The Three Stooges, Dustin Hoffman, Tiger Woods, Rosa Parks, Yogi Berra, Bettie Page, and other pop culture personae, even those appearing in robotic form.
