Relates to a personal right of publicity
This bill establishes a personal right of publicity in New York, allowing individuals to prevent the unauthorized use of their name, likeness, or voice for advertising, trade, or profit-generating websites without written consent. It specifically empowers the attorney general to order removal of unconsented content from websites generating ad revenue or profit if the person suffers harassment, financial loss, or other harm, with fines for non-compliance. The law excludes news, political campaigns, public information sites, and certain business uses (like product endorsements or photography exhibitions) from these requirements. It directly affects people whose images are used without permission and website operators monetizing such content. The bill does not alter existing copyright or federal rights.
