Number 42 goes 1125(d)

Via The Legal Satyricon, the cease and desist letter sent by the attorney of Mariano Rivera to the person who registered marianorivera.com. But apparently, he will be able to continue to operate its fan site, for now at least. I noticed that the site features some ads, but The Legal Satyricon made a point mentioning he did not have any and thus avoided the "for profit" pitfall. I wonder if he added them recently?

Via The Trademark Blog, great article by Brian Socolow about the right of publicity of athletes. The image of an athlete is indeed "a valuable commodity."
