Captain Hindsight Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 Sounds like he may be getting some bad advice. I would think at the least, it s better to have a lawyer call the Bills instead of using twitter... 4 1 2
May Day 10 Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 its not very disappointing to me they used the video 1 1

Motorin' Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 He's totally right. You can't use someone's voice and image in advertising without licensing those rights. He's going to get paid, and he should. That's how the world works. 4 3
aristocrat Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 yea who owns the video at this point? the tv station 25 years later? the bills might have bought it. guy is trying to sell shirts and stuff but might have overthought his actual demand. 1
MJS Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 Wasn't that video of him recorded by a news outlet?

However, that is not the case here. I am fairly certain the Bills are free to use reproductions of that video. 5

JinxedBill Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 I don’t think it’s his IP. If it is he has every right to ask for royalties
Bobby Hooks Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) Poor move. He should be using this 15 minutes to help elevate himself. The fact that the Bills themselves are using his video is free publicity. All he going to do is ruin his ties with the Bills and in turn ruin the relationship with the fans. No one, player, fan, etc... is bigger than the emblem on the side of the helmet. Fatal error. Edited December 27, 2019 by Bobby Hooks 7

davefan66 Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 Thought the video was trash back in the day, have not changed my mind. If he owns the rights, he should get paid. Just like the Bills would expect to get paid for their logo on a bag of chips. 2

It depends, if he signed a release at the time of filming, that release likely granted the company rights to his image and voice in perpetuity. They would also likely have the right to license it. But a lot of news channels don't use releases for "news" bc their footage is covered under the first amendment ... If the company that originally filmed didn't use a release that granted them the rights to the footage and the rights to assign it, Mark has a case. 5 minutes ago, Clemfield2622 said: No, he's not. News footage is public domain, not private property. No it's not. You can't use news footage without paying the company that filmed it. And it costs a pretty penny. But there's a difference between news footage and using a person's likeness and personality to sell in advertising. Edited December 27, 2019 by Motorin' 1 1 1

The guy hasn't been thought of in over 20 yrs & they bring that video back & the first thing in todays modern way of thinking is SUE, I'm going to SUE you what a ? ! 1 1
