Another analogy can be made in regards to the Allen case to Fallback’s possible litigation. In the possible Fallback litigation, Ms. Celebrity, a prominent celebrity, brought an action against a business for misappropriating her likeness in an advertisement, just as in the Allen case. The picture or portrait of Ms. Celebrity in this case is a robot, as opposed to a lookalike in the Allen case. In accordance to the Allen case the viewers of the advertisement must think that the person actually appeared in the advertisement. In the Allen case this question was left up to a jury, however, in the Fallback case it can be inferred that no person would believe that the robot in the advertisement was Ms. Celebrity herself. The fact that the …show more content…
In the Fallback litigation, Ms. Celebrity is upset because everyone is teasing her about the advertisement just as in McNulty where the plaintiff tries to bring his claim due to unwanted annoyance and banter. The court deems this cause of action not applicable though, therefore Ms. Celebrity’s claim would not proceed based on the annoyance and teasing she endured as a result of the advertisement.
Ms. Celebrity may argue that her claim should survive because, unlike The Naked Cowboy, the persona she plays on television and her is one in the same. This claim can be easily refuted though by a few major points. The first point is that television is most often scripted. Ms. Celebrity, even if she does play herself on a reality television show, more than likely does not portray herself as she normally would all of the time. Another point to be made is that Ms. Celebrity is doing her job when she is on television. The Ms. Celebrity on television is a persona that she plays, and is paid to play. In order to keep her job Ms. Celebrity has to act a certain way to attract and retain viewers. To insinuate that she always acts the same way off camera as she does on camera is not plausible.
The element of the statute requiring that the plaintiff’s likeness be used without her consent will not be satisfied in this case. This is because no viewer could mistake the robot used as Ms. Celebrity, Ms. Celebrity’s persona was
Amanda Berry was the victim that I chose to write about. She was born on April 22, 1986. She was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. Amanda Berry disappeared the night before turning 17. She was walking from her job at Burger King, and was abducted by Ariel Castro. She had been last seen on April 21, 2003. Ariel Castro lured Amanda Berry into his vehicle.

On this day, Ariel left one of the doors unlock and Amanda let her daughter slide out the front door to get help. On the day of MAY 6, 2013, she was finally free. Amanda made a phone too 911 explaining to
I have selected Britney Spears as my subject for the reason that I realize that she has been through so much in her life and has a tendency to convey her emotions radically and live life on the edge most of the times. Moreover, I find it simply fascinating to scrutinize Britney Spears’ personality by means of the Psychoanalysis so as to offer deeper comprehension in investigating her personality. Even though this process of personality analysis is hardly ever employed today due to a deficiency of empirical verification and a disappointment to deal with any adulthood impact on personality, the approach’s stress on childhood development is a long way from without foundation. It permits for a fascinating and vibrant examination of
Tragic heros have to start out as a success, making them a ‘hero’ and they usually have some sort of outstanding quality or greatness. Then, they experience a downfall and that could be associated with a flaw that this person has, giving them the ‘tragic’ characteristic. At the end of it all, the downfall will have had a huge impact, not only on the ‘tragic hero’ but the people around them. Britney Spears is a perfect example of a tragic hero. She started becoming famous at the very young age of 11. After this, her popularity was already very high, so she decided to release her first album. She truly was a huge celebrity. Then in 2007 things started to go downhill for her. She started doing things she was not proud of until it pushed her to
Cultural norms often constrict an individual in society. Humans are individual but social by nature. An imbalance individuals and society can lead one to feel out of place or socially awkward. In “Our Celebrities, Ourselves” by Neal Gabler and “Never Trust a Snake’: WWF Wrestling as Masculine Melodrama” by Henry Jenkins, both authors’ essays reflect on American Culture, however, they differ one reflecting the American individual and the other American society. In both essays values such as individualism, societal status and self-invention are discussed. However, Gabler reflects on celebrities self discovery in society while Jenkins focuses on how you can find your place in society as WWF wrestling resembles the American societal structure.
In Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984), we built up that keeping in mind the end goal to set up incapable help of advice under the 6th Amendment, a respondent needs to build up that insight's execution was equitably inadequate and that yet for that lacking execution, the trial result would have been distinctive. There are exemptions to the general standard. In situations where a barrier counsel has a dynamic irreconcilable situation, we assume that the trial result has without a doubt been influenced, and we don't require the respondent to demonstrate likely impact. In Holloway v. Arkansas, 435 U.S. 475 (1978), we held that a programmed inversion is proper when the trial court does not ask into a numerous representation irreconcilable situation that is raised by resistance counsel. In Cuyler v. Sullivan, 446 U.S. 335 (1980), we didn't extend Holloway's programmed inversion standard to situations where no complaint has been made to a different representation circumstance. In those cases, a litigant must show that "an irreconcilable situation really influenced the sufficiency of his representation." Sullivan additionally tended to the subject of when the trial court has an obligation to ask into the legitimacy of various representation. It said request is essential just when "the trial court knows or sensibly ought to realize that a specific clash exists." For today's situation we should decide how the assumed irreconcilable circumstance agrees with these cases. Here, guard counsel did not challenge his failure to speak to Mickens successfully, and the trial court did not make the Sullivan-ordered investigation into the respectability of numerous representation. Therefore, Mickens still had the weight of demonstrating that the irreconcilable situation

When I was present, the plaintiff and defendant were each giving their precedent. The plaintiff’s representative talked James King sent a threatening letter to Judge Seel’s house. In which, he explained descriptive evidence on how King made “threats” to Judge Seel in his argument. James King, on the other hand, was a man with a lot of “problems”. He stated that he was not in the right state of mind when he made the threat to Judge Seel. Also
Angie: “Who was deposed on the plaintiff side and who was deposed on the defendant side?”
Tulin’s picture from the poster, and that Fergile did not initially identify Tulin when shown that poster in the immediate aftermath of the events, there are other problems with the photo array that make its use inappropriate and unconstitutional. Mr. Tulin's photo in the array is darker, appears to be digitalized, and is not as clear. See, e.g., U.S. v. Storey, 97 F.3d 1465 (10th Cir. 1993) (quoting case law for the proposition that in assessing the constitutionality of a photo array courts consider “the size of the array, the manner of its presentation by the officers, and the details of the photographs themselves.”). Agent Watson himself confirmed these problems with the photograph. Tr. pp. 248:5 – 249:10 (confirming that Mr. Tulin’s image in the array is “distorted”, is “darker than the rest” and is obviously “digitalized”, “more difficult to see features”). The array photo is such that it is nearly impossible to make out any facial features of Mr. Tulin. Id. The photo is of such poor quality when compared to the others in the array, and when compared to those in other arrays shown to Fergile, that it plainly stands out from the rest of the photos and requires closer attention to scrutinize. See, e.g., Storey, 97 F.3d at 1465 (photo is constitutionally problematic where it “lead[s] the eye of the unguided viewer to [the defendant’s] photograph”); U.S. v. Mays, 822 F.2d 793,

One of the most popular teenage entertainers ever is warping the minds of our youth. Appearing on television commercials, MTV videos, many magazine covers, and the radio, Britney Spears is taking control of raising today’s children. Her perfect looks and sexual appeal have mesmerized young viewers. Children and teens strive to be just like her. Although some people allow their children to idolize Britney Spears, I now see that she is an inappropriate role model for her targeted audience of five to thirteen-year-olds.
