| blackmirror6x01 | major | The viewer is made to ponder the limits to which the Streamberry streaming service should be allowed to go in using a CGI likeness of Salma Hayek in their productions, whether or not she had contractually agreed to sign over those rights. For instance, Salma had explicitly signed a contract making it permissible to depict her CGI likeness taking a dump on a church floor, but she was outraged when they did it. Personality rights ought to be inalienable to some extent. |
