When you consider that the courts have let stand the "trademarking" of the likeness of deceased celebrities (such as Marilyn Monroe) and that the trademark can be passed along to people who are not even related to Ms. "Monroe", there is a "right to publicity".
It is also BS. Bought and paid for by the entertainment industry.
