"Pinned to" is the correct historical usage. I was just describing what would happen in the hot tub.*

Besides, you can't tell us that a single hot tub encounter would cause you to commit long-term.

But then, you're not in NY, right?

I would love to see how they made THAT constitutional.

Wasn't there a case about this involving the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland? (Yes, I'm too lazy to look it up.)

Got it. Indeed. And fwiw, I once had a one night Tombs encounter that ended up in a long term commitment. I'm committable like that.

Didn't the owners of the Chrysler Building (try to) trademark it's image, theoretically limiting NYC skyline shots that didn't involve paying for the use of the Chrysler image? I seem to recall some pix airbrushing out Chrysler to avoid the issue, but maybe I'm imagining things.

Argued it was necessary in a post-9/11 world?

BTW, did IM Pei claim copyright for the R&RHoF?

Adder, I look at all of the above research that needs to be done, and I think it's going to be a long night for you.

Why don't you ask that paralegal to stay to help? Put it on Hank's number.

I'm not so sure I'd ask adder to do research on IP issues. my "discussion" with him on PB about the need for patent reform caused me to promise never to comment on any IP issue on these boards, ever again.

Don't remember re IM Pei; I think the court case was framed as a trademark dispute. If memory serves, the appeals court said you can't just ban all commercial sales of any picture of a famous building. But it might be possible to protect one or two unique views/pictures from third-party commercial exploitation if they're being consistently used by the building's owner to market what the building offers.

Usual disclaimer: this is not legal advice.

I vaguely recall something about the New York, New York hotel in Vegas having to pay a shit ton of license fees for all of the iconic images on their building.

Article--from 1998--regarding the trend of trademarking building images with a couple mentions of court cases.
