Kerry, I guess that you think that the company below is extremely vulnerable to lawsuits, as it's using the photographs of 52 Wall Street figures in its Wall Street's Most Wanted playing cards. wallstreetmostwanted.com My own non-legal opinion is that the company has no liability with regard to the actual people shown on the cards but might be violating the copyrights of the photographers who took the images of Martha, Alan, etc. I always thought that the likeness of public figures could be used for commercial purposes, as long as the manufacturer wasn't claiming that the figure was endorsing/manufacturing the product. For example, while I could sell "Free OJ" T-Shirts without legal implication, I couldn't sell "Paul Newman Tomato Sauce" without compensating Paul Newman.
