PaidContent : Apple’s legal claim is largely bogus. While people can indeed own rights to their likeness, those rights usually apply only to living people. Under American law, so-called “personality rights” exist only at the state level—there is no federal law and only about a dozen states recognize image rights after death.
I dunno why everybody's treating him like a fallen god anyway.
I have to watch my weight with all the popcorn I consume in anticipation of what these nutJobs might do next.

stopped reading right there, you guys better read your terms of contract if that's what apple believes. from that statement alone means you cant make a funny cartoon with his likeness because you will be sued.
