New York Right of Publicity Law: Reimagining Privacy and the First Amendment in the Digital Age

The New York State Assembly is currently considering Assembly Bill A08155, which would expand New York's right of publicity law by making it a property right that can be passed onto a namesake's heirs. Critics of the Bill say it will chill speech by limiting the use of a namesake's name or likeness even after their death. We will be inviting practitioners and academics to the event to discuss the pros, cons, and potential alterations to the Bill.
