Because the law in Minnesota say’s that people are not prohibited to use a person’s image after their death a huge rush is happening to paste Prince’s images all over t-shirts, posters, mugs, key chains and anything else they can think of to make a buck.
California and Tennessee have different rules which prohibit this sort of thing and actually allows the estates of dead celebrities to go after these people who are trying to squeeze every dollar they can out of their deaths. The reason for Minnesota’s law is probably because there are not really that many celebrities that have died there, thus no reason for any such of a law so as a result, any Tom, Dick or Harry can start a company in Minnesota to print these sorts of items and are raking it in.
