“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well? ( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )
Grats on the announcement! Okay, so when are they gonna send you out here to Vegas to watch some fights and/or chat with the Zuffa folks?
ReplyDeleteHah! I wish; this announcement was in Las Vegas, and the publisher had plenty of English speakers to talk about how great it is, as well as being attended by Dana White and Rampage Jackson. Woot! We sent two project directors and two planners to show it off, as well as attend the UFC event and take reference materials.
