Talk:ELVIS Act

Gebre Waddell

This article severely overstates the role of Gebre Waddell and may be highly misleading. First, the inception of the Act was Gov. Lee's introduction of the bill on January 10 together with industry stakeholders. https://musicrow.com/2024/01/just-in-governor-bill-lee-introduces-elvis-act-for-likeness-voice-image-protection/ Second, Justin Pearson had nothing to do with passing the legislation in the General Assembly -- credit instead goes to Rep. William Lamberth and Sen. Jack Johnson. https://twitter.com/RIAA/status/1745250881648423372 Third, the photo should be changed or removed to reflect that Waddell was not the central player. Lastly, most of the edits and the photo provided by user DMWare to this article highlight Weddell's role, and the bulk of this user's other edits across Wikipedia are also about Gebre Waddell; therefore, it appears this may be a promotional Wiki article.
