Anthony Pacific wrote (quoting the Illinois Act): "A person may not use an individual's identity for commercial purposes during the individual's lifetime without having obtained previous written consent from the appropriate person or persons?? Come on! That's goofy. The Act is supposed to prevent use of an "individual's identity" to SELL something -- like the classic case of a baby's face used to sell a box of oatmeal. The painting sells only the painting -- it doesn't change the image into a trademark. Besides Anthony has become a public figure, making him fairplay for commentary -- even offensive or comical commentary. I see nothing illegal about those paintings. For more information, see "First Amendment". - Charles
