Court rules on using stars' images

[Russell]

The Supreme Court on Thursday handed down the nation's first ruling on publicity rights, saying celebrities' names and photos are protected under publicity rights, but rejecting a compensation demand by the plaintiffs in the case, singing duo Pink Lady. Presiding Justice Ryuko Sakurai said in the ruling: "Celebrities' names and images can help sales by attracting potential customers. They are protected under publicity rights." By clarifying the status of publicity rights and providing a guideline on what constitutes a violation, the ruling will likely be seen as a wake-up call on using celebrities' names or images in publications and on the Internet without permission. Pink Lady had demanded that Kobunsha Co. pay them compensation of 3.72 million yen, saying the use of their photos without their agreement in a magazine published by the company infringed on their publicity rights.

Seems Pink Lady did not discover their presence on Youtube yet, but then they were already Obachan of 46 and 47 in this video from 2004, so what would one expect...

You just described my useless father...

a fucking defrocked cummunist who dropped his party membership card the day he bought his second house... (we have tense and extremly limited contact... especially since this imbecile even after 4 consecutive years of trainwreck seems to still be a sarkotard)

/Have nothing against "gauche Caviar"
/Money is made to be spend, not to change your believes.
/Would vote for him on the spot

IF he was not sooo dead (that's a big if... I know)

/Prepping some flags to put at the balcony "liberation of Paris" style for next march when the dwarf is voted out of the Elysee.
