Here's an article I found on it
http://www.salon.com/entertainment/movies/...ngover_two_case Basically, the artist that did Mike Tyson's tattoo tried to sue Warner Brothers for the use of his tattoo design in the movie The Hangover II. What are the implications of copyright being applied to artwork on someone's skin? Would it be illegal for their picture to be taken or filmed? Tyson has a specific release from the tattoo artist that he can be recorded, but what if he didn't? What if this came up in the 6th world where video security is widespread? Could such a person sue each and every business the wearer of the tattoo walked by and entered in, simply because the tattoo was caught on camera? |
