For some reason I couldn't reply to your post directly Latoicha, but you are 100% correct. That is your argument. I saw the phrase “right to privacy” in your note, and the bullet points regarding its various forms, and confused what you were saying. I thought you were saying he had a right to privacy claim as well as publicity, but you were saying he just has a right to publicity claim, which derives from the right of privacy. My bad. Good information to have out there nonetheless re: the Gines-Perez case.

Hi Indo:

That is my argument exactly! 50 cents has a Right to Publicity Claim as I stated in the article and in my earlier reply to you. And as I stated in my earlier reply, he also has a copyright and trademark infringement claim. I never claimed he had a Right to Privacy Claim. The
Right to Publicity derives from the Right to Privacy Law. However, the case you cited looks interesting. I will review and let you know my thoughts! Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

All the best!
