| This is a tricky subject, because the line between parody and infringement is often blurred - but I'm inclined to side with Woody Allen on this one. In other instances of parody, people like Weird Al or the actors on SNL use a likeness of a public figure for profit. But here we have Woody Allen himself being portrayed for commercial purposes without permission. I don't see how that could be legal. If it were a photo of him in a public place being used in a newspaper article or for an art project, that's one thing. But this is using not only Woody Allen, but copyrighted material, for profit.
How would an artist on this forum feel if Squier, Ibanez, or any other equipment manufacturer used his picture in an advertisement, without permission or compensation? Some of us would be happy to be publicised, but I'm sure others would say "hey! I don't use their equipment!" |
