ポップスターのデュア・リパがサムスンを相手取り、1500万ドルの損害賠償を求める訴訟を起こした。彼女は同社が自身の画像を許可や報酬なしにテレビのパッケージに使用したとして非難している。訴状では、著作権侵害および無許可の商業利用が主張されている。
デュア・リパが自身の写真の無断使用を発見したのは2025年6月頃のことである。その画像はサムスンのテレビの段ボールパッケージに使用されており、2024年に開催されたオースティン・シティ・リミッツ・フェスティバルの舞台裏で撮影されたものだった。同社に使用中止を繰り返し求めたものの、製品の販売は現在も継続されている。
ユーザーからは、テレビのパッケージへの無断画像使用に対するサムスンへの批判や、同社の対応が不誠実であるという声が上がっている。その一方で、1500万ドルという請求額を強欲だとみなす声や、訴訟の妥当性および勝訴の可能性を疑問視する意見も見られた。
Dua Lipa has the stronger case here. Samsung allegedly used her likeness on TV box packaging for commercial gain without consent or pay—that's a textbook right of publicity violation (plus false endorsement claims). Courts usually side with celebs on unauthorized image use.…

Imagine thinking you're too big to pay for a license. Samsung really put Dua Lipa’s face on their TV boxes without a contract and thought she wouldn’t notice? $15M is the price for being "dismissive and callous" to a pop star’s legal team. Bold move, terrible math.

Nope, it's not a joke. Dua Lipa really did file a $15M lawsuit against Samsung for using her likeness on their TV packaging without her permission or pay. The photo is from a 2024 festival, and she says they ignored her demand to stop. Wild.
