Who controls how one’s identity is used by others? This legal question, centuries old, demands greater scrutiny in the Internet age. Jennifer Rothman uses the right of publicity—a little-known law, often wielded by celebrities—to answer that question, not just for the famous but for everyone. In challenging the conventional story of the right of publicity’s emergence, development, and justifications, Rothman shows how it transformed people into intellectual property, leading to a bizarre world in which you can lose ownership of your own identity. This shift and the right’s subsequent expansion undermine individual liberty and privacy, restrict free speech, and suppress artistic works. The Right of Publicity traces the right’s origins back to the emergence of the right of privacy in the late 1800s. The central impetus for the adoption of privacy laws was to protect people from “wrongful publicity.” This privacy-based protection was not limited to anonymous private citizens but applied to famous actors, athletes, and politicians. Beginning in the 1950s, the right transformed into a fully transferable intellectual property right, generating a host of legal disputes, from control of dead celebrities like Prince, to the use of student athletes’ images by the NCAA, to lawsuits by users of Facebook and victims of revenge porn. The right of publicity has lost its way. Rothman proposes returning the right to its origins and in the process reclaiming privacy for a public world.

Commercial exploitation of attributes of an individual's personality, such as name, voice and likeness, forms a mainstay of modern advertising and marketing. Such indicia also represent an important aspect of an individual's dignity which is often offended by unauthorized commercial appropriation. This volume provides a framework for analysing the disparate aspects of the problem of commercial appropriation of personality and traces, in detail, the discrete patterns of development in the major common law systems. It also considers whether a coherent justification for a remedy may be identified from a range of competing theories. The considerable variation in substantive legal protection reflects more fundamental differences in the law's responsiveness to commercial practices and different attitudes towards the proper scope and limits of intangible property rights.

This essay is based on a featured lecture that I gave as part of the Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal's 2 symposium on a proposed right of publicity law in New York. The essay draws from my recent book, The Right of Publicity: Privacy Reimagined for a Public World, published by Harvard University Press. Insights from the book suggest that New York should not upend more than one hundred years of established privacy law in the state, nor jeopardize its citizens' ownership over their own names, likenesses, and voices by replacing these privacy laws with a new and independent right of publicity law, at least not the versions thus far proposed.The essay begins by busting a host of myths about the development of privacy law in New York and across the nation. The tort-based right of privacy was, and remains, the original right of publicity, and was even referred to as a right to stop “unwarranted publicity.” Privacy laws, from the beginning, protected the famous and anonymous alike, and allowed for recovery of economic and business damages, as well as of emotional distress and reputational harms.In the essay, I debunk the common, albeit erroneous, claim that the right of publicity was created in 1953 by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Haelan Labs. v. Topps Chewing Gum. Instead, the turn to a transferable and independent (of privacy) right of publicity actually occurred later, and was driven in part by Hollywood lawyers and heirs of celebrities who saw the advantages of a transferable property right in a person's identity. Such a shift, however, is often at the expense of the very individuals the right of publicity is supposed to protect. The essay concludes with some recommendations for New York, and for right of publicity and privacy laws more generally.
