Just FYI: Plenty of people have sued after being hit by a puck, a ball (or bat) at hockey/baseball games and WON their lawsuits.....what it said on the back of the ticket meant ZERO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a ***** jackass to say that after what he is known for.? The dude clearly hasn't been to a Bills game in a long time if he thinks that. Back in the 90's it was a free-for-all. It's romper room in there now and in the tailgate scene in general. The little bit of table crashing gets a ton of pub but it's downright cordial in the lot's nowadays and if you are there you know it. Unfortunately the hero Marc is kind of a poser as a Bills fan..........resting comfortably on his couch a half hour away from the stadium when the team isn't going to SB's.

But only if Marc signed away the rights to his likeness at the time of the original filming. A lot of news companies don't use rights waivers though bc they don't need rights to broadcast news. And while it's ok for news companies to license the footage they shoot to be used in other news stories and documentaries that are covered under fair use laws, advertising purposes don't fall under fair rights usage. So it's certainly within the realm of possibility that ABC (or whoever it was) licensed the footage to the Bills for a purpose they didn't have the right to license it for. You can dislike the way Marc Miller has handled the situation on Twitter, but I don't understand why people think the little guy has no rights and the billion dollar corporation is automatic the good guy. I'd be pissed if my face was all over the internet to advertise a product without my consent, even if it was my favorite product. And I think anybody should be pissed if that happened to them. I happen to believe that people should have a say in how their image is exploited. It is a shame that wage earning Americans will so readily drop to their knees in “support” of a corporate monopoly, Its like they have no sense of shame, or sense of self at all, these same people think that corporations are some how honest and benevolent,, they are neither, and always look first to their own benefit at your and my expense, all corporations are inherently corrupt, that is why they incorporate to begin with, it is done to deflect personal responsibility/liability for their actions. Wake up America, he said fruitlessly... Go Bills!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to sign anything actually when you are in a public area like that and put yourself on camera like he did you automatically sign your rights away. Fact.

Fact. I hate when people try to argue things that can't be argued. True but in reading his Twitter timeline there was an IP attorney who questioned whether the Bills usage of his image in an advertisement can be considered “commercial.” So for instance, it’s one thing for ESPN or whatever media entity to air the footage. What you probably can’t do, is to use the footage in commercial media or advertising. So for instance, Russell Salvatore probably couldn’t use the video Or Miller’s image to promote his “Dallas is Going Down” pasta dish. The question is whether the Bills using his image is a re-publication of new media and whether their usage is commercial. But then again, I can’t see the Bills legal staff being so sloppy to miss something like this easy, so I’m sure there’s a lot more to it and if I were a betting man, I’d double down on the Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact. I hate when people try to argue things that can't be argued. The laws very greatly by state, and by usage. Some states have extremely restrictive privacy laws, where it can be an actual prosecutable crime to use images of recognizable people in advertising without their consent. 9 minutes ago, Phil The Thrill said: True but in reading his Twitter timeline there was an IP attorney who questioned whether the Bills usage of his image in an advertisement can be considered “commercial.” So for instance, it’s one thing for ESPN or whatever media entity to air the footage.

What's at question is whether Marc signed away his rights to NBC when they filmed it. That's the only way that NBC could license the clip for commerical purposes without Marc having a claim. But they license news clips under "fair use" all the time. So it's very possible that the Bills owe Marc a usage fee.
