This is the first I’ve heard of this particular lawsuit. Indeed, Ms. Parks has a right to publicity, but being able to filing suit against OutKast for using her name in the title of a song (that doesn’t mention her further) and claiming “false advertising” is, at best, a rather shameless attempt to get something she doesn’t like removed from the airwaves. I’d also guess she’s a limited public figure, and therefore must expect a little bit of satire thrown her way. Dan, thoughts?
