Knowing people who are not famous but are SAG-AFTRA actors, I’m going to have to disagree very much on that.

How do likeness rights benefit non-famous people?

Turning likeness into an intellectual property implies the right to sell it. Apparently you want to argue for likeness, so I don't see why you would use such clauses as an argument.

That’s a poor and fallacious argument there.

It's not an argument, as you have recognized. I hoped it would make you think.

You know that not everyone in Hollywood is part of SAG-AFTRA, right? Have you ever wondered what happened to them during the strike? I guess they just have to fend for themselves. If the "union" doesn't care about those guys, do you think the leadership cares about the small members?

Actors are a conservative lot. At the bottom, you have the "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" and at the top... Well, you know. It's not common on lemmy to cheer for such a system.
