quote:When Business 2.0 sought a picture of Bill Gates's hair to superimpose on photos of models to dramatize a story on the Microsoft founder's possible corporate heirs, they couldn't find two depictions that were the same. His hair was always bad, but bad in a different way. And when the editors finally selected a photo to use, the rights were held by a photo archive owned by Mr. Gates himself, Corbis Outline, which ruled that his hair is not severable from his head.

LOL!

cahult:
Wonder if he did like Fred Astaire did with his legs and model Suzanne Mizzi did with her boobs, insure it against things like this.

Fett101:
Um... the right to the photo they wanted to use was copyrighted.
