Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- condemning right of publicity exploitation as “one of the most flagrant and common means of invasion of privacy”
- “The fact that damages resulting from an invasion of the right to privacy cannot be measured by a pecuniary standard is not a bar to recovery.”
