Ronnie must have been talking to Ferrigno at the Arnold Expo, getting solid business advice and such...

This thing should have been settled out of court one way or another...RC really believes that he is untouchable...That hero complex of his is going to bite him in the ass...

Ronnie is already scraping for money it looks like...How long before he has those silly auto's up for sale? I give it 2 years and we will be seeing the Ronnie Coleman yard sale...

I agree with Quaker Oats 100% in his first post. Who in the hell does he think he is, some sort of famous celebrity or athlete? The dude at the very least be honored to make even his image to the mainstream. Get off your high horse Ronnie, outside of bodybuilding pt no pot one knows who the hell you are!

The posters they have had in Golds Gym have been there 20+ years.  Gold's has been sued by just about everybody for just about everything.  I am pretty sure they are covered.  having a poster of someone in your business without actually using their name or profiting from using their likeness will basically bring nothing.  I will find out the exactly tomorrow.  But, I would think he has no basis for the suit.  How much is he suing for and how can he prove how much if any Gold's has made from his likeness.  What a piece of shit he is.  Maybe they should bill him for all the free days he trained their.  Nice way of showing appreciation to business that supported him all those years.  Typical asshole.

Is RC sueing over one of the big photos inside the gymm on the walls???? Or is he sueing over Gold's using him in an advertising campaign???

There is the "fair (non commercial) use" doctrine/exception-which would cover the pics and photos in the gym, but that would NOT apply if they are doing mailers or newsprint ads......

When Pete, Ed & Tim sold Gold's, Gold's became the laughing stock of the gym world. They can't do anything right.

Gold's gym has changed hands twice since Connors and Grymko sold out. Neither set of new owners knew what the fuck they are doing.

Now watch Planet Fitness make the EXACT same mistakes with World Gym.

Planet Fitness has already made mistakes.  Over 100 World Gym have gone somewhere else as has over 100 Gold's Gym.  And is RC sueing over the posters in the gym or an ad.  If its an ad in a magazine then okay he should sue.  But if its the wall posters he won't get anything.

LoL @ the comments on that article, shows why bodybuilding will never be popular. Most women do want skinny twinks with 13 inch arms+abs.  :'(  :-X

26. Do these muscle bound weirdos actually think this is attractive? You'd think they would have something more constructive to do with their lives. This poster is a good advertisement to stay away from Gold's Gym. That guy is just nasty and unhealthy looking. I'd take a pot belly any day over that!!! Btw, I'm female.

Doesn't matter, Sarcasm and Jock.  You have to get permission to use someone's likeness if your goal's to make money.  And it doesn't matter how much business you generate due to Ronnie's silouette (or whatever); that you use it for any kind of marketing purpose puts your company in deep doo-doo.
Exactly. Its called copyright. He should be getting a cut out of that. It is smart business.

"I will find out the exactly tomorrow. But, I would think he has no basis for the suit"  ??? maybe you should have found out the curcumstances before you brand him a typical asshole.  If you don't know 'the exactly' how do you know he has no basis. What is they used his image in their advertising? isn't that a good basis.  Don't rememeber if it was Cutler or Dexter who sued a supplement company a about 1yr ago for using their image on their bottle.

Doesn't GOld's gym have all the posters of the Olympia winners and hall of famers? Can they ALL sue gold's gym??

There's a big difference between having pics on a wall and using it in an ad IF that's what they did.
