Woody Allen sues American Apparel for rabbi ad

Posted by Brad A. Greenberg

Remember der heyliker rebe, Woody Allen, whose mug from “Annie Hall” was seen on this American Apparel billboard in Echo Park only to disappear a few days later?

Well, today Allen filed a $10-million suit against the L.A.-based clothier, claiming the notoriously edgy advertiser used his image without permission. Either that or he just didn’t want to be “Jewish hustler” Dov Charney’s spiritual guide.

He owned his image and he owns the rights to his works. Its about copyright laws and you know what, you use copyrighted material, you have to pay - same as down loading music that is copyrighted. You can’t do it. Its the law. I don’t think the money mattered as much as the principal and I should think that they will rethink using someone else’s picture and material without permission again. It was a very poor business decision.
