Filmmaker James Cameron and Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. based the likeness of an “Avatar” character on the features of indigenous actress Q’orianka Kilcher without her permission, she said in a lawsuit filed Tuesday.
Is there a law that establishes the definition of likeness and is it entitled to any rights?
Where is the limit that separates something similar to something else entitled to anything protected by the law?
Where is the line drawn ?
I’m sure there’s something, but personally I can’t imagine a law specifying geometry & texture similarity percentiles and a reproducible analysis procedure.
