Analyzing the Copyright Lawsuit Against LeBron James
分析对于LeBron James的著作权诉讼
Even though James is clearly the focus of Mitchell’s photo, that fact has no
bearing on the photo’s ownership. It is Mitchell’s photo. That’s not to say
James lacks rights in how a photo of him is used. James enjoys a “right of
publicity” that encompasses his image in photos. While the scope of the right
of publicity varies by state, and while the First Amendment sometimes limits
its application, the right generally protects one’s name, image, likeness and
associated identity traits from unauthorized commercial use. James can sue
violators for misappropriating his right of publicity.
尽管James显然是Mitchell照片中的焦点，但实际上上与照片的所有权无关。这不是说James
没有权利使用他的照片。James享有肖像权，其中包括他在照片中的形象。虽然肖像权保障
范围因州而异，而且第一修正案会限制其适用，该权利通常保护个人的姓名、形象、肖像
和相关的身份特征，防止未经授权的商业使用。James可以起诉侵害其肖像权的侵权者。
If the right of publicity sounds similar to the ongoing legal and legislative
debate over college athletes’ names, images and likenesses, that’s because it
is. There is no federal right of publicity, but advocates for college athletes
have demanded one given that NCAA amateurism rules generally forbid athletes
from being able to license their names, images and likenesses. James’s right
of publicity during NBA games is not at issue here. James, like all NBA
players, is governed by in-game and out-of-game licensing policies agreed to by
the National Basketball Players’ Association and the NBA. Those policies
include the right for professional photos to be taken of players during games.
如果肖像权听起来与正在进行中的关于大学运动员姓名、形象以及肖像的法律以及立法辩论
相似，那是因为这两者是一样的。没有联邦立法保障肖像权，但基于NCAA业余性规则通常会
禁止运动员授权其姓名、形象和肖像，因此大学运动员的倡导者已经要求这样做。
James在NBA比赛中的肖像权在这里并不是问题。和所有NBA球员一样，受到美国国家篮球运
动员协会和NBA同意的场内和场外授权政策的约束。这些政策包括在比赛期间，球员可以被
拍摄专业照片的权利。
文章中提到，James可能可以主张合理使用：
One likely defense is “fair use.” This defense would assert that while
Mitchell may be the rightful owner of the original photo, James’s
publication of a cropped version was permissible.
或者主张是非营利，单纯是James想要和粉丝们庆祝他的扣篮，并让他们知道扣篮新闻。
James’s attorneys could argue that the purpose of the Facebook post was to
celebrate his dunk with fans and to let them know the “news” of the dunk
happening. The post, James’s attorneys could contend, wasn’t intended to
earn income for James. Indeed, the post is available without charge for
anyone with access to Facebook. Also, Facebook hasn’t taken down the post
for violating its terms and conditions (Mitchell’s complaint doesn’t
indicate if a take-down request was made to Facebook).
或者是主张James不会影响Mitchell著作的市场价值
In terms of the impact of James’s post on Mitchell’s market for the photo,
James’s attorneys might maintain that Mitchell could still license the
original version. Unless Mitchell can prove he lost potential licensing
money, James’s attorneys could insist there is no reason to believe that
James posting a cropped version impacted the market.
