Legal Tidbits - Cash Money from Nestle

This is just a great story. Some guy is standing in line in Home Depot a few years back when a woman walks up to him and tells him that "you look just like the guy on my coffee jar." As it turns on, in 1986 this guy had posed for a photographer on assignment for Nestle. Unbenowest to him, he has been the face of Nescafe Coffee for the past six years.

He was awarded....get this...$15.6 million by a California jury for using his likeness without his permission and profiting from it.

Wow. I wish someone would use my likeness without my permission and profit from it....
