Perhaps publicity rights should be life of celebrity + 0 years. Why should Fred Astaire's descendants get to decide whether he would have endorsed a particular vacuum cleaner? They don't care about his legacy, they are just riding the gravy train.
Wait, what? The FBI took it and then reinstalled it, both times on the sly?
It doesn't say whether ECN was notified, but they must have been, if only to indicate which rack was MF/PL's colo. They were probably ordered not to tell their customer anything on the removal. But on the reinstallaion, that's just bizarre.
Also, what's the FBI doing in Italy? There must be more to that story as well.
The way to stop this sort of thing is to honey pot the FBI. Make vague assertions on websites about your willingness to blow things up, wait for them to contact you, and document the hell out of it.
It would make a good project for a patriot. Pretty risky, I won't be trying it, but if you document it well and have a good lawyer advising you, your defense should hold up.
