The Georgia Supreme Court has ruled against the makers of the "Girls Gone Wild" TV series in a case involving a then-14-year-old girl who bared her breasts on vacation not knowing they would be featured for years in advertising and packaging of the videos.
The court said Thursday that Lindsay Bullard, now 26, could not have consented to appropriating her likeness for commercial distribution. Bullard sued the video-makers MRA Holding Inc. and Mantra Films in 2004 after the company took the footage, shot on a Panama City, Fla., spring break trip in April 2000, and placed it in "Girls Gone Wild, College Girls Exposed." Her claim is for misappropriation of her likeness for commercial use.
