The video for Kanye West's "Famous" brought upon the vast and typical online outrage WEst is used to thanks to its use of nude mock-ups of Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Donald Trump and other famous figures. After much critique West tweeted "Can somebody sue me already #I'll wait.". however the question of can they sue remains in the air. According to California law since it is not an ad West is protected. The piece is a music video which would be considered a work of art. for the purposes of making a statement, certainly go through the motions of expressing legal indignation via a harshly worded cease and desist letter but to go beyond that would be useless.
