The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) warns that the revised NO FAKES Act would adversely impact free speech and innovation by introducing intellectual property rights over individual images. EFF critiques the bill for failing to emphasize privacy and instead fostering a market for monetizing deceased celebrities' likenesses. They argue this could lead to increased litigation and unnecessary removal of content, disproportionately benefiting established entities while disadvantaging startups. EFF advocates for privacy protections that better safeguard individuals from misuse and misinformation rather than creative property rights that facilitate commercial exploitation.
We simply must stop approaching everything as if property rights are the only way to protect people, when privacy does a better job of it.
Property rights inherently create an unequal playing ground where some people's rights are worth more than others.
Creating a property right in this case is just an idea designed to create a whole new market for certain people to be able to make money.
