California’s Right of Publicity Law (CRPL) gives individuals control over the use of their names and likenesses. The complaint for this class action alleges that Meredith Corporation, a publishing company, violates this law when it sells its subscribers’ “names and likenesses, along with other highly sensitive personal information…” It sells this information to parties like data aggregators, list brokers, and “aggressive marketing companies,” says the complaint. The complaint calls this a monetization of subscribers’ names and likenesses.
