Interesting Dispute

.....between the IHSA and the Illinois Press Association over newspapers' increased use of photographs originally taken in a news context (and thus protected from invasion of privacy suits) for commercial purposes, such as reprints, coffee mugs, posters, etc. Newspapers, always searching for new revenue streams, may have drifted into the territory of commercial appropriation of individuals' images, which requires their consent.

On the other hand, who says the IHSA should control the use of a person's likeness, either? It's hard to feel much sympathy for either side.
