I think it should always be legal to use the likeness of deceased people. Could it be gross? Yes. But I'd rather have that than the absurdity of copyright be extended to beyond the grave for yet another case where it makes no sense. There is no theory of harm here, the person being impersonated is dead. Could you damage the reputation of a living person by using the image of a dead one? Of course, but that's already illegal. |

I disagree, but purely because I would hate it if anyone (especially friends and family) created a simulacrum of me. I'm hoping that expressing my wish in my will would provide some amount of protection against this.
