The point about adopting personality rights is there IS no public domain footage of celebrities. The person who took the film has the copyright; the person IN it has image rights. No public domain.
I agreee that the current, non personality rts set up provides adequate protection for "privacy/reputation" interests via libel and data protection. What celebrities want additionally is economic rts in use of their image - publicity rts not privacy rts.
