No, that’s not what I’m saying. However, I wonder how you would respond if, upon becoming famous, a self-painted self-portrait of yourself were used in a campaign to spread the idea that all races are not created equally, and that you, Mr. Famous so an so advocated extermination of all non-whites? Would you seek legal recourse to protect your image? Or would you consider it this racist group’s right to use you to spread their message?
As we’re discussing copyrighted works and images, I feel as though it is pertinent.
