I've often wondered why celebs don't copyright their likeness, visual and audio. Is it not legit to do this?

@godzero @Meyerweb There is something called “publicity rights” or “personality rights,” and they vary from country to country or in the USA, from state to state.

Just to be precise, copyright wouldn’t apply here: copyright covers “the expression of an idea,” not a person’s physical characteristics.
