How would that work? If someone drew a photorealistic painting of pretty much the same, under what legal claim could Swift "most likely win"?
Many jurisdictions have started banning nonconsensual intimate imagery, including the US (in several states as well as federally under the TAKE IT DOWN Act).
That seems recently signed into law (ie, untested in courts) & patently unconstitutional. Would that law prohibit obscene depictions of Trump?
Well, the constitutionality will need to be tested, sure, but the US first amendment is not absolute, even if it is sweeping relative to other countries.
Also, the US is not the only jurisdiction in the world. Plenty of other countries have put similar laws on the books over the last 2-3 years.
It's pretty clear: strict scrutiny.
Would the jurisdiction for a case between a US citizen & US company not be the US?
