The Legal Landscape
Name. Image. Likeness. And the Fight for Your Face.
You are your brand — so what happens when someone else starts using your name, your face, or even your voice… without asking?
In this episode, Hayley Paige and her legal dream team unpack one of the most important (and overlooked) topics in creative careers: your Right of Publicity and NIL (Name, Image, Likeness). From AI deepfakes to sneaky influencer contracts to Hayley’s real-life courtroom moment involving doodles (yes, seriously), this is a must-listen for anyone with a platform, a personal brand… or a face.
We’ll cover:
- What NIL actually is — and how it’s being exploited
- How to spot red flags in influencer contracts
- How AI is changing everything
- When the courts go too far — and what creators can do about it
- Whether you can trademark your face (spoiler: maybe)
Your name isn’t just a name. It’s your résumé, your storefront, and your IP. Protect it like it’s gold.
