Title: Judge Judy Image use lawsuit
Post by: Uncle Pete on March 13, 2014, 17:27

"By trading, without consent or authorization, on Sheindlin's well-known persona, the Haymond Defendants have irreparably harmed and damaged Sheindlin's hard-earned professional and artistic reputation, dignity, and prestige,"

For those people who think anyone's image can be used freely, especially a celebrity for marketing. Should be interesting.

And it's a lawyer who did it? That's choice!

At $75,000, she's letting him off lightly. She could go for much more than that.

And definitely should, as it's for her programme.

As I read it it its not so much for using her image as the claims made?
