In what way did the case of White v. Samsung Electronics seem to extend the scope of the appropriation tort? How is the environment for commercial speech a bit more dangerous following White?
What will be an ideal response?
[The appellate court held that Vanna White could sue even though it was not her actual picture used in the advertisement and even though consumers would not mistake the robot for Vanna. The ad nevertheless capitalized on Vanna White's image, the court said, and that was enough to support a lawsuit for appropriation; consumers might assume Vanna White was connected with Samsung in some way.]
