Quote - Having read all the above, I find myself wondering if you can really copyright yourself?
I can understand celebs not being happy with 3D likenesses being distributed, but I don't think they could use copyright law to stop it. And anyway, surely their parents, as 'creators', would be the copyright holders? Privacy laws could be brought into play, but are you really invading the celeb's privacy by making a 3D puppet of them?
In the UK we used to have a satirical TV show called 'Spitting Image' which featured latex puppets of, well, just about anybody in the public eye; far from being annoyed by this, many considered that being featured showed that they were 'someone'.
Didn't Phil Collins and Genesis use these in one of their vids a few years back? I'd like to see some likenesses made of the Young ones Mike, Adrian, Rick and Neil....lol!
