Florida's statute protects against unauthorized commercial uses of an individual's name or likeness. Specifically, the statute provides that,
"No person shall publish, print, display or otherwise publicly use for purposes of trade or for any commercial or advertising purpose the name, portrait, photograph, or other likeness of any natural person without ... express written or oral consent."
Fla. Stat. Ann. § 540.08(1).
In Tyne v. Time Warner Entertainment Co., the Florida Supreme Court held that to find a violation of the right of publicity statute, the use must be for the defendant's benefit and done to promote a product or service, not merely for expressive purposes. See Tyne v. Time Warner Entm't Co., L.P., 901 So. 2d 802 (Fla. 2005); see also Almeida v. Amazon.com, Inc., 456 F.3d 1316 (11th Cir. 2006); Tyne v. Time Warner Entm't Co., L.P., 204 F. Supp. 2d 1338 (M.D. Fla. 2002); National Football League v. Alley, Inc., 624 F. Supp. 6 (S.D. Fla. 1983).
Simply using a person's likeness in connection with a commercial product or service does not violate the statute. Rather, the statute is designed to "prevent the unauthorized use of a name to directly promote the product or service of the publisher." Tyne v. Time Warner Entm't Co., L.P., 901 So.2d 802 (Fla. 2005); see also Loft v. Fuller, 408 So. 2d 619 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1981). Inclusion in a product sold for profit is insufficient to constitute an unauthorized use under this statute, as there must be a demonstration the association of the name with the product is valuable and exploitative. See Valentine v. C.B.S., Inc., 698 F.2d 430 (11th Cir. 1983); Fuentes v. Mega Media Holdings, Inc., 721 F. Supp. 1255 (S.D. Fla. 2010); Tyne v. Time Warner Entm't Co., L.P., 901 So. 2d 802 (Fla. 2005); Loft v. Fuller, 408 So. 2d 619 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1981). The publication or printing of a product for advertising purposes has been found sufficient to constitute a statutory violation, even when there was no distribution. Weinstein Design Group, Inc. v. Fielder, 884 So. 2d 990 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2004).
Florida's statute also contains exceptions for news media and prior consent, including:
Fla. Stat. Ann. § 540.08(4).
Florida has also recognized Section 47 of the Restatement (Third) of Unfair Competition, finding exceptions for uses including "news reporting, commentary, entertainment, works of fiction or nonfiction, or in advertising that is incidental to such uses." See Faulkner Press, L.L.C. v. Class Notes, L.L.C., 756 F. Supp. 2d 1352 (N.D. Fla. 2010); Lane v. MRA Holdings, LLC, 242 F. Supp. 2d 1205 (M.D. Fla. 2002); Tyne v. Time Warner Entm't Co., L.P., 204 F. Supp. 2d 1338 (M.D. Fla. 2002); Tyne v. Time Warner Entm't Co., L.P., 901 So. 2d 802 (Fla. 2005).
Rights of the Deceased
Florida provides that this right of publicity lasts for 40 years after the death of the individual, and is considered a freely transferable, licensable, descendible property right. The substance of the right is the same before and after death.
Any person, firm or corporation may be authorized in writing to license the commercial use of an individual's name or likeness. Fla. Stat. Ann. § 540.08(1). If no such entity is authorized in writing, then the right belongs to the individual's surviving spouse and children. Fla. Stat. Ann. § 540.08(1). An individual's spouse is determined by the domicile's law the time of the individual's death, regardless of the spouse's later remarriage. Children includes immediate offspring as well children legally adopted by the individual. Fla. Stat. Ann. § 540.08(6).

I posted some of your information
about naming a product on Rossi Blog.
Hello DR Rossi
This is information about naming a product.
I do not know if you are aware of what it
says.

Not sure if Rossi is still outside the US. If so, then of course it is an outstanding business performance, to remotely manufacture, deliver, install, wire and operate all the new ECat plants from his location abroad, in up to four countries so far...so we shall be ready to see "sooner or later" signs of Leonardo's business and who are those satisfied customers.
Nice piece of AR fiction - if only it were true!

I cut out the surplus text
Adrian, thx. May I ask what is your evidence that you know better than we do? Because Rossi wrote so on his blog? Of course. If nobody can prove there is no customer, than there must be a customer. That is your logic. You would become the most awarded person here and everywhere else, if you can help to find out, who Rossi's customer is, provide pictures or independent 3rd party information (pictures, energy bills, delivery notes, an industrial certificate, testimonials etc.).

The return of the walking Ad.
Look who is back again, with the same powers of belief like all the time.
Adrian, what was suddenly the quantum of energy that made You post again after such a long time of wise silence ?
... was it the stuff of Acklands homepage ?
Alan - please understand that I am not capable of making criminal threats.
Those decisions are up to local, regional and national authorities in the countries where these crimes are committed.
Gee, that walk-back just makes the initial threats sound even more hollow.
It seems that even die-hard-Rossi-hardliners on ECW starting to think about reality checks, and seed some kind of doubt, if all that what Rossi is claiming and writing, can be true...
Interesting to see the glossy ECat SK paint is peeling...
Vinney Roland • 24 minutes ago
I would add, that as he has specified the minimum install capacity is 1 MW delivered as heat, and recently he commented that they prefer to install as multiple of the 20kw boxes as shown in January demo, does this mean the 1MW is composed of 50 of those 20kw E-cat SK (blue box) units.
Those units are mainly empty space, and can easily fit 10 x 20kw E-cats, which can also be operated by the one controller (per box).
Or is he making custom compact 1MW units comprising 50 x 20kw modules and 5 controllers in the one assembly, and one housing.
If its 50 seperate units, that means a lot of fittings in series, with lagging, which also means a high potential incidence of leaks, and heat loss to the surroundings. Reply Vinney Vinney • 3 minutes ago
Also, I am having difficulty picturing how these 50 individual elements would work, heating an existing boiler.
We know each E-cat SK will have its own circuit (to exchange heat with the boiler) and this circuit will probably contain demineralized water.
This is a safety feature to not have boiler solution (whatever it might be) not come in contact with the E-cat.
This layout would require a lot of modifications to the existing boiler, or the E-cat modules serving an identical second boiler suitably modified.
Another seperate question, who pays for the second boiler or modifications to the existing boiler.
And a question for the steam engineers in this forum, how much would each of these two options cost.
after such a long time of wise silence ?
If silence is wise then maybe you should take your own advice.
Is there any chance commenters
can Tone down there personal
attacks this time around?
Yes, lets play nice for a couple of days- just for practice of course.

Orders to stay out of four countries more likely
Is there any chance commenters

attacks this time around?
Sure, I'll sign up for that.
Are threats to sue other participants considered a personal attack or is it something you think should go unanswered? For instance, let's say I threatened to bring all the resources of MY employer to shut YOU down by suing you from here to Timbuktu.
Oh, I know, I know. No one ever really addresses a hypothetical. And in this case it is not a hypothetical, because we have been threatened with lawsuits in the past and now are threatened in the present. So please answer the question as to whether those are considered personal attacks.

If it is Dewey you are talking about

the moderators about that type
of comment.
Yes he did.
Lots of interesting comments from

Dear Andrea,
So far, what is the lowest kW order from a single customer?
Many thanks,
Frank Acland
Frank Acland:
1 MW.
We are serving only industries.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Andrea,
Hearing you have delivered plants to customers is reason for a great compliment. You are probably the first company actually employing LENR as a commercial product on a large scale, congratulations!
No doubt you are getting feedback of your plants. Some questions, if I may:
1. Is the COP as expected?
2. Can you give average operational figures of this COP?
3. Are you happy with the automatically produced E-Cats SK?
4. Are you still much involved in producing E-cats, or is your focus more on innovations like direct electricity production and E-Cat -jet/turbine combinations?
5. Now you are actually producing, the numbers of employers must have risen. How many employees are now working for the Leonardo company?
All the best!
Thanks and and kind regards, Gerard
Gerard McEk:
1- yes
2- no
3- yes
4- both
5- enough
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Andrea Rossi,
You already confirmed orders from four countries.
1. Is Sweden one of them?
2. If Yes, more than one order from Sweden?

Sven B:
1- yes
2- yes
