VERDICT--MORE DAMAGE TO HER CAREER WAS DONE BY FANTASTIC FOUR: Here's an interesting legal quandry. Actress poses for publicity still for movie in swimsuit. Publicity still is made widely available on the Internet and elsewhere. Men's magazine gets license to use the publicity still, takes the publicity still, makes a small airbrushing change to the fabric, and puts it on its cover. Although the actress is on the cover, she does not appear inside the magazine. Does actress have a right of action for damages? Well, insert "Jessica Alba" for "actress" and Playboy for magazine, and you have a real dispute.
