Reply to comment by Pkmatrix0079 in TIL Marilyn Monroe's likeness does not have any post-mortem protection as she was domiciled in New York at the time of her death and there are no federal publicity rights. by AudibleNod

Yeah, no. Free speech and the right to culture is more important than making an even bigger pile of money for a handful of rich celebrities.

I think they need to make regulations because if we're not careful, the rich celebrities will make it so that their likenesses never fall into the public domain. They're only just now realizing the inconsistencies.
