no one should be permitted to create or transmit the likeness of anyone [prior to, say, 20 years following their death] without their explicit, written permission.

I dig the sentiment. I do. And If this were my own fantasy world, I'd agree. But unfortunately, we don't live in the timeline where that is considered even close to reasonable.
