You don’t need credit to talk about pop culture. I don’t need to credit the Indian Jones copyright holder when I paint a stunning likeness of Ford in a kaki outfit with a whip, even if the holder might try to sue me over it. Copyright and credit aren’t the same.

There are also trademark protections. I heard Ford actually trademarked his likeness to ensure he got a piece of the merchandise action.

Trademarking your likeness is absurd. How do we even let that happen.

IMO everyone should automatically have rights over their own likeness, especially when it comes to commercial ventures.
