A quick definition of right of publicity:

Right of Publicity: The right to control how your name, picture, or likeness is used and to stop others from using it for money without your permission. It's like having a special rule that says no one can use your face or name to sell things without asking you first. This rule is different from other rules about trademarks, copyrights, or privacy. It's a special rule that helps protect people's personal identity.

A more thorough explanation:

The right of publicity is a legal term that refers to an individual's right to control the use of their name, image, or likeness for commercial purposes. This means that no one can use your name, picture, or any other identifying feature to make money without your permission.

For example, if a company wants to use a celebrity's image to promote their product, they must first obtain the celebrity's consent and compensate them for the use of their likeness. Similarly, if a photographer takes a picture of you and wants to use it in an advertisement, they must first get your permission.

The right of publicity is a type of intellectual property right that is protected by state law. It is considered a commercial tort of unfair competition, which means that if someone violates your right of publicity, you can take legal action against them.

people add up out of nowhere and theres people you cant invite without inviting other people its a whole mess
Like actually you either elope or you need 100+ people
It's crazy. I would fr piss off countless people if they did not get an invite to my wedding. It's also very much a Utah culture thing (where receptions are more of a, come and go as you please). I have no extended family here (again, first gen), but again, could easily make a list of 100 people who need an invite to my wedding or we wouldn't be on talking terms anymore
