If you find out were to get shirt mug and stuff .... Lemme know ... I want some!!! ... lol ;D This is something I need to investigate. Who said that Motown owns David's image? I've never heard of that. Owning the Temptations name is one thing but how can they own a person's image?? When David's kids filed that lawsuit against DePase, they claimed that Motown had used their father's image without their permission(at least this one of the charges). So I'm confused as if this is really the case that Motown owns David's image. |

The images are owned by whatever photographer took the pictures unless he sold them. I remember years ago that Michael Ochs purchased a slew of pictures from some photographer. Sometimes, you will see his name as being the owner. www.michaelochs.com/Here are The Tempts photos www.michaelochs.com/home_FS.html |

Bees is right whoever takes the picture is the owner. Motown still has a legal right to market David's image. That's one of the reasons why the daughter's lost their lawsuit.

That is very interesting that Motown owns David's image. I knew that they owned his music but I do not understand how they can claim David's beautiful face!! |

I didn't think we were talking about pictures. I think that's pretty cut & dry that the pics belong to whomever takes them. But the likeness/image is something different, at least, I believe. I would use Elvis as an example. People who have taken pics of Elvis of course have the rights to the picture but the estate, when it comes to licensing his likeness, controls that. They have to get permission to use his likeness & his image. I believe had the girls filed their lawsuit in LA, they would've won their case. There are laws on the books in LA that protect deceased celebrites images/likeness from being used. There is no such law in Michigan unfortunately.  |

Buddy Holly on anything because he is a decaesed celeb? ... That is actually a good law ... I think so anyways ;D |
