I was gonna say. In my end of the pool, you get a release any time a lawyer craps her pants. Which, among our lawyers, is often.
Actually, I think that pretty much summarizes the corporate end of copyright law, too. Thou shalt crap thy pants unless thou hast a formal permissions contract.
I'm thinking of those eBayed photo keyrings, of which Colin (Ferguson, not Firth) was one actor represented. Is that person stealing from the photographer of the original picture, or from Colin? If they were candids, are they stealing?
Probably stealing from both. I'm not sure what the distinction is between selling a candid to the tabs and profiting off some kind of consumer good made from a candid, but if I were to guess, it would be the confusion aspect.
Trademark law is partly based on the right of someone who makes a good (which could be their own image) to keep the consumer from being confused about the source of that good. If I sold a picture of Britney brunching to a tabloid, you are not confused about whether or not that picture comes from Britney; most likely it doesn't. However, if I sold keychains with her likeness on them, you could think it came from her, which would dilute* the power of her brand.
*I'm not using dilution here in the legal sense.
All that having been said, Gina is working those dumb cuffed pants and looking good in them.
Hmmph.
Gina is working those dumb cuffed pants and looking good in them.
She looks damn fine, but I'm not sure how I feel about the hair. I think I like the curls better.
She's one of probably three or four living women who could wear those cuffed pants and look good in them. I like the curls, too, but she looks damn fine in those shots. So does LF.

I love the idea that you have a separate list of dead women who could rock the look.
I think her hair is
verging
on too flat, but honestly I barely looked. And man, to make me forget LF is in the picture? Takes some doing.
She is rockin' that look. Dayum, she looks like a movie star.
And wearing next to no makeup...
And wearing next to no makeup
That's what I noticed... then I grumped 'cause there's no way in hell I look that good WITH makeup
That's pretty much what I was thinking. I didn't even notice the dumb cuffed pants, because I was thinking how flawless GT looks, out in the middle of the day, even in a candid of her wearing her grumpy face.
