Did anyone else catch this:
"The Whitney's display of the work was therefore protected by the First
Amendment, the court said, as was the reproduction of the image in the
exhibition catalogue. Similarly, the court said, the leaflets, newsletters,
and other exhibition advertisements, including the large vinyl
"billboards," fell outside New York's privacy protection, because they
merely "proved the worth and illustrated the content" of the show."
At the NINCH Copyright Town Meeting workshop held during the MCN conference
in Toronto, I brought up the idea that fair use exceptions should include
"informational" use, such as illustrating the content of an
exhibit. Perhaps we have here, in the context of privacy law, a glimmer of
hope in this direction.
