Talk:Personality rights

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

the Personality rights section germany is not complete. whether KUG §22 is quotet, also KUG §23 (http://bundesrecht.juris.de/kunsturhg/__23.htm) needs to be quoted which contains the exceptions! wondering whether there are also exceptions within others countries laws. --Michl 06:54, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article needs citations / references, external links fix & more

This article has no secondary referencing, very limited primary referencing, and the majority of those external links that are listed are either dead, or take readers to pages which make no reference at all to 'personality rights'.

All above reduce the possible contribution this article makes, from being a crisp, reliable encyclopedia style summary of an very particular dimension of 'intellectual property law' .. into a largely uncertain and ambigious exposition (variously verifiable) iterpreting and categorising a bit of a grab bag of otherwise largely unrelated legal cases and laws relating to people's privacy, fraud (passing off), and commercial trade rights.

I hope it is agreed that this article could be improved, particularly given that 'personality rights' are one to the intellectual property rights 'disclaimed' in Wikipedia:General disclaimer, and this is one of the few places that Wikipedia users can go to find out what it is they are being forewarned of in opting to use Wikipedia articles?!Bruceanthro (talk) 22:29, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
