Just wondering who you like.
I prefer Letterman! Leno on Monday because he has headlines, and sometimes his guests are better, but Letterman is the winner without guests. |

Letterman's an ass. Jay's into cool vehicles.
IMHO, FWIW....

....and of course there is always Stern. i just like watching the commercials on E at night!!
favorite Conan show was when he was in Texas at the airport watching his own show and some big, wacked out dude was telling him how shitty his show was. and asking where his little fat sidekick was.
and of course another great 'low' show The Man Show. some pretty great skits there too. drunk pilots at the airport bar was good!

>>"what a lovely land rover you have ... for me to poop on!!"
Have you ever seen TV Fun House on Comedy Central? That is where that started, that show is SICK and Deminted, I love it!
Speaking of E! commercials...
I went to high school with a girl (Amber Kulhanek) that got caught by the "Girls Gone Wild" in Cozumel, Mex. with her shirt off. She never signed the consent form, and they didn't put her in the video but she WAS on the commercial. She sued and got an undisclosed settlement from the E! network and got a cool $5 million from the GGW folks.
Great motto to teach the kids... "Get drunk, show your tits, and become a millionare 5 times over!"
She is going to be on Nightline with Ted Coppel, and has been contacted by Howard Stern, and others but declined. |

That's what I say! I guess we should flag her down in her Bentley and tell her that.
The one thing that does make me smile is...
From experience of people I know who have sued, Laywers get about 30%, and Taxes will get 30% of whats left leaving here with less than 1/2 the settlment or $2,400,000. Still a shit load of FREE money, but better than the whole $5. |

Nope!
You can snap a pic, but if you're going to sell copies of it, you have to have a release signed by the subject. My dad, uncle, father-in-law, brother-in-law (all good photographers, two actually professionally) all carry releases so that they can have people sign it if they think that they might have a good enough pic....
FWIW....

i disagee, i think they are doing it just so they dont have someone bending the law and trying to sue them.
you think all those tabloid papers pay the celebrities? no..
if you are on public property you can take the picture and sell it.
think about it....

But for them, it's advertising.
Hmmmmm..............
Now, let me preface this, unlike some others around here, I'm not an attorney. But I think you were on the right track....
If you don't get a release, then I think it'd be legal for them to sue you for a portion of the profits, or for damages from embarrassment, etc. etc. By getting a release, then you don't have to compensate them for any profits that you may gain.
If you write something, you have a copyright on it, right then. Aren't you entitled to a "copyright" on yourself?
I'd like to hear one of the attorneys' opinion on this, actually... (but don't send me a bill for it! lol.....)

"situations like this is where i'm usually at my wrongest"
Ah, Rob, (don't want to scare you, but we think alike) .... That is a wonderful statement ...
I want to use that as my favorite quote in my profile here ... (you won't sue me will you, lol??)

I think the analogy of the Celebs is out of wack. Celebs are in the limelight and therfore give up some of the rights that regular people have. I don't know the whole details but that is why Tommy Lee and Pamela couldn't sue the distributors of thier tape. Topless photos of princess Di ect. |

You don't have to pay taxes on personal injury compensation. SO- she had to pay only attorney's fees. |

Andy, someone just informed me of that this morning. Suck that you have to pay taxes on inheritance, but not monies awarded in a suit. Oh well... |
