Delan v. CBS, Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “At bar plaintiffs approximately four-second appearance was not only fleeting, but his role was very minor to the central theme of the documentary.”
• “Since the use of plaintiffs name and image was not for advertising purposes, or for purposes of trade, but rather was used in a documentary addressing a subject of legitimate public interest, the written consent of the plaintiff was not required.”
