If someone is dead they should stay dead this is how art dies. It’s easier to keep recycling the same time shit over and over. I want to see what the new generation brings to the table.
Does anyone in the industry know how/if that stuff needs approval from someone? Like does the family estate OK it or something?
From the ones I have heard yes the they need to pay the estate but my logic is when you get to something that is brand no longer tied to a person. You end up with mickey mouse being relevant 100 years later when the people that only care about money. They never even met the person that is tied to the estate.
Don’t get me wrong, I think its very weird too. I’ve been curious how it actually happens, though.

Oh how you have been failed a teaching or lesson of the utmost importance… the amount of income is more important than anything in our current culture and society. So ask yourself the real question? Is it profitable to be beating a dead horse?

Nope I get it but I will get some schadenfreude when some estate that only cares about money sells Anne Heche’s likeness to a porn company. As all the other famous people scramble to get contacts in place to try and stop it happening to them.
