I doubt this would be considered any form of fraud, it's just more convenient than sending an auto-reply telling them who to contact instead. Employees are generally considered to be fungible agents of the company. | |

| Apr 24 at 22:34 | comment | added | ohwilleke | @bdb484 I think that a name-image-likeness right of publicity violation is a stretch in a situation like this one where there is a clearly unintentional glitch in the system that hasn't been fixed immediately. The essence of a NIL violation is an intent to profit from the use. Related link: codes.ohio.gov/ohio-administrative-code/rule-3362-3-26 | |
