      Nope. So far the only country on earth that’s tabled laws to allow for this is Denmark.

        Bullshit. YouTube will takedown videos from 1A auditors. That’s why they don’t tell the disgruntled people their channels or identity.

        You just have to file a privacy claim. Then they have to blur or censor your face. Clown emoji are popular.

          It’s not bullshit.

          1. Denmark has passed a law allowing people to copyright their likeness and no other country has done so.

          2. Youtube isn’t a court and it’s TOS can be stricter than laws.

          3. Filming someone in public is fundamentally different than using AI to generate their likeness. As you identified, it’s usually a privacy issue, not a copyright one.

      You can trademark it, but that doesn’t apply retroactively, and then you have to vigorously defend it or you will lose the trademark (which is why corporations are constant sending cease and desist letters to their own fan clubs).
