The protection of privacy and personality is one of the most fascinating issues confronting any legal system. This book provides a detailed comparative analysis of intellectual property rights in an individual's name, voice or likeness in the major legal systems: France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. It examines the tensions between protecting an individual's privacy and personality through intellectual property law and the wider public interests in free speech and free competition.
