Fellow MOPOers:
Last week, I listed an original 8" x 10" studio release portrait
-- not a copy or restrike -- of Mara Corday from the 1956 Universal-
International western, RAW EDGE.
Today, E-Bay pulled the still and sent me the following message:
Dear captainbijou:
You recently listed the following listing:
370342103917 - MARA CORDAY 1956 ORIGINAL 8x10 PORTRAIT
Your listing has been removed.
The rights owner or an agent authorized to act on behalf of the
rights owner, Mrs. Richard Long aka Mara Corday, notified eBay that
this listing violates intellectual property rights. When eBay
receives a report of this type of violation, we remove the listing
to comply with the law.
Listings or items that contain a celebrity's name, likeness, or
signature may infringe his/her right of publicity. This right is
generally defined as an individual's right to control and profit
from the commercial use of his/her identity, and is not limited to
only celebrities.
You may need the celebrity's authorization to use his/her name,
likeness, or signature in a listing or to list an item using such
elements. Items that contain a celebrity's name, likeness, or
signature may infringe his/her right of publicity. Such items are
not permitted on eBay, unless they were made or authorized by that
person.
.......and so it goes.
