A New Twist

To read more on the Tony Twist case (see below, yesterday), check out the Volokh Conspiracy, here and here (scroll down a bit). Professor Volokh has been commenting on the case for a while. He's solidly on the First Amendment side against an encroaching right of publicity. In fact, he wrote an amicus brief to the Missouri Supreme Court on behalf of writers such as Michael Crichton and Larry David.

The good news is the Professor feels the Supreme Court will yet hear the case--that it earlier denied appeal because it prefers to wait until the case fully wends its way through the Missouri courts.
