More on the Dead Celebrities Bill

The New York Times has a story today on the new California right of publicity legislation. The Wall Street Journal Law Blog weighs in here. American Photo magazine's David Schonauer says "the new law is intended to help one company, Marilyn Monroe LLC. The law was pushed through the California legislature almost unnoticed by the public, who in large part will gain nothing by it. The real losers are photographers who photograph celebrities and think they still own the rights to their images."
