- The most severely wounded survivor of the 2018 mass shooting at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School now owns shooter Nikolas Cruz's name, and Cruz cannot give any interviews without his permission, under a settlement reached in a lawsuit.
Under his recent settlement with Anthony Borges, Cruz must also turn over any money he might receive as a beneficiary of a relative's life insurance policy, participate in any scientific studies of mass shooters and donate his body to science after his death.

This is actually pretty amazing. It means no documentaries, no future TV docudramas, no interviews, nothing. He’s got the power to let him rot in silence in prison. I hope other victims begin doing this with these monsters. Control what the media can put out there. These families deserve peace, not continued trauma from story after story, interviews every five years, etc.
Couldn't the killer just change his name though?
@@lightyagami3492that’s the beauty of it.
say he does change his name, there’s no way to tell of his crimes without mentioning that name. the murder’s name has been established as a legal fact. any claims otherwise are fraud
This won't hold up. Nor should it. I understand the victim's feelings in asking for that deal but let's be honest, you can't own another person. We had a civil thingy largely in part about that, remember?
@@prettypuff1 Nothing about this deal is beautiful. It's another example of perverse justice in an insane situation.
If the felon wanted to appeal this, I highly doubt a court would agree that, "well you agreed to be owned so now you're owned".
@@zeroneutralhe doesn’t own Cruz, he owns the rights to his name. Two different things.
That’s gotta give the survivor a bit of power over the negative situation he was placed in.

This accomplishes absolutely nothing. Pettiness at its finest.
*I don't get it, soo the survivor owns the shooter name?*
@@Freddy_ConfettiHe literally cannot profit on his own name. He would have to ask permission from a victim to be able to do ANYTHING.. That’s more than pettiness. So many killers go get to be the focus of interviews and series - getting the attention they craze.
@@vivaguerro1932They explain it in the video… the video is so short and straight to the point.
That's a legend move. He took this whole man's identity and make sure he is done. I am just in shock that this survivor turned into a champion. The shooter should never profit for his crime and this man this legend took care of that.
Yes indeed
This is horrible. Someone can take your name for any reason. Crazy
@@RUTHLESSambition5”any”
@@RUTHLESSambition5 there was 17 survivors… why just one gets ownership of the name, or the possibility to profit from it?
And why? I mean, John Gacy, Robert Yates, Charles Manson… they didn’t get their names taken away. Maybe I miss something.

As a lawyer, I always loved the obscure facets of the law that one could use to achieve a result one wouldn’t expect to be an available remedy.
I'm genuinely curious if now that the shooter's "name" is "owned" by someone else. Do you think they (the shooter) could be tried in any additional subsequent lawsuits? Would the prosecution have to change the accused party to "unnamed"?

Can the victim release Hollywood movie rights?
So if I’m not mistaken, then that trust fund or whatever it was Cruz had after his mother passed away, that’s now Anthony’s too?
@@Novelist1029 yes.. Cruz officially BELONGS to Anthony.... Anthony owns him now basically..

i know can't people read ? He basically owns the killer's right to speak or make any money out of what he did, with interviews, docs etc.
@@CanadianHorseFaceohhh that’s so good and smart I didn’t even know that was a thing 💀
We can read
He owns him, the guy has to call the kid for permission to do anything 😂😂.
He’s still going to do interviews the media companies don’t care. They want views and stories. It’s messed what Cruz did. But what are they going to sue for if has nothing. If He does a against the contract interview, who’s going to stop it. The news or any interviewer can air the interviews. They didn’t sign anything. They don’t even have to use his name. They Can easily not use his name and just write Florida school shorter interview as tv title. Not defending dude. But that was kinda pointless. He don’t care who owns his name. It’s just a paper to him. Dudes locked up for life, he has other stuff on his mind. Rip all the victims.
what? i mean i know he wont be paying any restitution but i had no idea you could lose you name thats wild 😂😂😂
I thought he turned over his mother's estate funds towards restitution. He wanted them to have it.

Wow, that is one of the most impressive things I have ever heard of a lawyer being able to accomplish for a victim. Nice!
Why would you ever call a killer a gentleman?
The news still called him a killer, who cares. We all know what he is. That’s probably what he calls all guys
Because they cannot use his name, that’s what they mean when they say he owns the killers name.. I believe they used different titles for journalistic emphasis..
@@mindywages2411that's exactly what it means, they can't use his name in an interview without his express permission.

That’s a legit way to get back on someone that committed such a gruesome crime. Bro really took his rights away.
No, the killer still has his rights. He just doesn't have permission to use the name in published media.
Pretty sure the court system did that by finding him guilty and sentencing all those life sentances, you're just a number in prison and he was never getting out.

LOVE that the word "killer" and "shooter" were used for this individual by the news outlet. Definitely support Mr. Anthony's wise and moral move with this tragedy. He and whomever else in his life understood the murderer was seeking infamy, causing perpetual harm. Bless him and all of the survivors of those that are senseless and selfish 🙏🏾🕊
You took my life and dreams away. Now I own you.
To be fair some survivors are not victims.. if you get my drift
@@gonelucid I dont.
@@gonelucid elaborate?
@Tunehymnidk about that judging the impact statements im pretty sure most of them were victims. Especially that one girl and her bf. And the other girl wit shrapnel in her face
@Tunehymn if you just type in the search bar Nikolas Cruz impact statements you’ll see where I’m coming from. But they’re a few that hit me the hardest like the one special needs guy crying about his older brother, the one girl talking about her now deceased ex boyfriend and the father who’s son was a teacher and sacrificed himself to protect his students.
You have to get his approval first if you want to interview Cruz
and there's no way in hell he's gonna approve of it..
@@CodemaeX not only that but if one day someone writes a book or documentary about the situation all the money goes to him
@@raularaujo1329 Only if using Cruzs' name. Could just call him "The Shooter."
Wrong lol he just can’t profit of his name. Cruz can do any interviews he wants and even get paid. What will they do if he does? Take his money and give him more prison time? Dude has nothing to lose or gain
@@andreww1001 true
This probably should’ve been done for the names of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. The media attention those guys got bolstered and emboldened future school shooters.
The legal difference is those two cowards are dead. They cannot profit off their crimes. The Cruz lawsuit doesn't stop the media, it stops Cruz from profiting off his crimes/ being interviewed by media.
I agree. Those first two years of reports were just FAR too sympathetic. They've become pop-culture icons, almost like Elvis now. So many money grubbing people write plays, publish their writings, make tee-shirts, etc. We wouldn't be in this situation, had the media not reported every rumor they heard. The Brown family has become somewhat shunned in their community, for taking every opportunity to be interviewed and make money off of the tragedy.
Why bother even mentioning them? They don’t deserve to be remembered.
But those two are no longer alive.
also really trippy how they're gonna get his brain when he's dead to prevent future school shootings? bro there's been so much since parkland like, i think his isn't gonna matter when he finally passes
This is not correct, and we all literally disagreed with the 21-year-old decision to own 25-year-old Nikolas Cruz’s name.
Who is we all? And why

I love this. I’m so sorry for all of the suffering that Anthony Borges has endured. Just like the father of the deceased Joaquin Oliver said in his sentencing victim testimony, “Now it’s time for me to steal your fame.” And now Anthony has done that here.
So basically, Anthony Borges owns Nikolas Cruz now.
Nice one, Anthony 😎👍🏽.
He owns his name, not his life calm down. Nikolas doesn't have to change his name. He just has to have consent to do interviews.
@@thephatjesus3032he does not have a life. He's in jail. He is in jail for the rest of his life. He can't do any prison interviews, can't write any books with his name in it. If a book is written about him any money that would go to Cruz goes to the survivor. If Cruz dies, or someone left him as beneficiary, the survivor gets it all. Theirs other stipulations then the permission for interviews.
@thephatjesus3032 it's more than that, he can't profit from his name or likeness anymore.
@@hugespicyhuge I know that
@@thephatjesus3032Is Nikolas your boyfriend?
This should be a standard law
How is this even legally possible? I have never heard of such a move.
Killer agreed to the terms. Not sure why
probably ignorance
Amazing! Nikolas wanted to act like an animal & now he can be treated worse than one!!!!
Mr no name. Is how he should forever go by. He doesn’t deserve the respect of having a name
He did what he did but you have to remember this is resultant of bullying. People talk down and expect nothing to happen cause they mostly do it online
Let him and others alike be an example of what happens when you start talking out the neck.
I’m not justifying anything either I’m just saying this is what happens
@@ogarrt nikolas cruz is a massive racist and fascist that though being abused meant that it was okay and that he should abuse others. hes a worm
Many said he was bullied at school….so maybe the ones who bullied him should be held accountable….they are the ones that made him act like this. And someone said he’s Autistic too…..so they continuously bullied an autistic person…and the school didn’t do anything to stop it. People need to start holding ALL accountable when stuff like this happens….because majority of these school shooters were repeatedly bullied and abused by other students and those students need to start being held accountable when the one they are bullying finally cracks and does something…..they need to start going to prison as well. And every teacher or school administrator needs to also go to prison if they were told about the bullying and did nothing to stop it. ALL of those people created this.
Nameless and forever disgraced.
I have no problem with this being used against a monster like him, but I am confused about how this is possible, and I'm worried about the precedent it sets. Is this only possible because the shooter agreed to it? Or does this mean that, in the US, a good lawyer can get a judge to strip you of the right to your name without your consent? It seems like a fundamental violation of freedom of speech. Again, idgaf about this guys rights, but the whole point of rights is that you get them no matter who you are.
I understand why he did it. I wouldn't want anything to do with the name of my brother's killer. No way in hell. My brothers name is the priority Miguel Angel Ordaz Angulo 💕🙏
Right!
never heard of him.
@@greenleaf2233Now you have, and so have I.
May he rest in peace🙏🏾
Not only was this an incredibly intelligent move to make it means nobody can come in and buy this story and use it to make money and twist it however they want without permission from this last survivor which is huge.. so many criminals get to make money sitting in their off the crimes that they did in this one will never get to Netflix will never get to no one will ever get to make money off of this tragedy
@@devingibbs9061 He/she means nothing more than my next door neighbor. sorry
Taking away your rights to your own name sure sounds like cruel and unusual punishment to me.
Or if he agreed to it.
well he agreed to it, and it isn't litterally taking away his name; It's just he's not allowed to gain any more clout within interviews, or get paid for them without consent of that survivor's permission. Besides, this guy slaughtered about more than 20 people... I don't think he deserves ANY rights tbh
You can do that? Incredible!
Good that the shooter won't be able to profit from this.
what profit? there is no money coming from this
@@user-wc6ri2tr5q very naive of you to think that the shooter could not have profited in some way.
@@RutabegaNG by your logic prisoner X could also make profits for being the person formerly known as Y
the words cruel and unusual punishment come to mind--even prisoners have rights in our nation
Awesome- this prevents companies like Netflix from profiteering from this.
Bingo! Absolutely disgusted with the way Hollyweird romanticizes these sick bastards.
Suing to; take ownership of someones personal name, control their speech, and compel organ donation? This seems extremely unconstitutional and a violation of human rights. This is setting precedent to compel speech, and COMPEL ORGAN DONATION. WHATS NEXT, SUE SOMEONE TO SERVE AS A SLAVE? He may have committed a heinous criminal act but if the state deems he should be held in custody rather than executed then it must be done so humanely and within the constitution.
They state that voldemort agreed to these stipulations, meaning that animal signed these "rights" (animals like that don't deserve rights) away.
Christian nationalists are slobbering, probs.
remember that Anthony Borges blocked a classroom door with his body.
Damn did most of you not watch the video geezus
I watched it and still think it’s stupid, it’s a slippery slope. Before long everyone will be suing anyone to grab their identity for petty lawsuits.
@@mikeg2491 I’m talking about the people who think he changed his name to his.
@@mikeg2491It’s not a slippery slope seeing how this can and only happens to most egregious of crimes like mass murder, not petty theft. You don’t know what a slippery slope is do you Mike?
@mikeg2491 This only happened because Cruz agreed to all of the terms given to him, there is no way a judge would allow someone to own another person's likeness or force their body to be donated if the other person didn't agree to it. Honest Cruz could probably change his mind and there is no way the agreement would be enforceable.
@@mikeg2491 Comparing mass murder to petty lawsuits says a lot about you.
Cruz willingly agreed to this. That would suggest he had no interest in ever trying to profit from selling the story anyway. So it’s not the big power-win everyone is making it out to be. The problematic aspect of this is, does *anyone else* who might want to tell the story, like maybe other survivors, now have to pay Borges to do so?
Only if they use the criminals name, image, or likeness. If they just talk about their experience, don't use the name, and don't have an actor play him - absolutely not
@@lizzyblitz07Honestly I don't think that's right. The other victims should be able to tell their story in any way they like. If they want to use his name, they should.
@@-notmycat The real question if this would result in exploiting other survivor. As in who would be profiting from having the incident being used in media. would it be everyone or just that person who got the rights. What if one of the victim was called in for a interview for a documentary and the person who have the rights wasn't invited demanded money just because of that interview. This would really going to be a very tricky legal case once media production and money get involved. I think all victims should have the same right as that victim so there is zero to no chance this rights get abused.
(I am commenting this in a neutral way, and anything that would involved IP can get pretty tricky)
Suing to; take ownership of someones personal name, control their speech, and compel organ donation? This seems extremely unconstitutional and a violation of human rights. If the community decides a prisoner should not be executed and instead should be held in custody, it must be done humanely and free from violations of human rights, regardless of how egregious of an action they committed.
This was a civil lawsuit and Nicholas Cruz agreed to the terms.
This is the land of the free.
Who are you to say a man can't sign away the right to his own name, speech and image for anything other than legal documents in the land of Liberty?
@@Victorianousyou: "Land of Liberty"

Slow down there Jefferson Davis.
Yeah, it SEEMS like that because you just watched propaganda lol
The monster has no rights after killing people like that
@@Emilythematerialgurlif he has no rights, he shouldn't be able to sign documents signing over further rights. The court system should have been the one to take his name, strike it from public record, and let him be know to history as prisoner 48829 or whatever his number is. But no instead now one dude gets to profit over all the other victims which definitely seems fair.
Just asking, what’s to stop the shooter from changing his name and circumventing this ruling?
that's how you shut down criminals who are looking to make money off their story later on.
So is the shooter being forced to donate his body to science? That’s kind of macabre. Bodies donated to science can end up in museums, personal collections, and can be bought and sold. (Not the same as organ donation, which is highly regulated.) I’m not sure how I feel about that…
Honestly, once you're dead whatever happens to your body is irrelevant. Not really a punishment to that person, it would be more of a punishment for the parents, I would say.
They can maybe find out what leads to a person doing this horrible stuff, by looking at his brain. They won’t have to worry about his soul, that is going straight to hell.
@@alzabeeswwoh so this whole thing exists because it’s actually some humanitarian cause. Why not have Cruz be the guy’s personal slave? He doesn’t deserve any rights after what he did after all.
I consider this cruel and unusual punishment. You can bar him from interviewing sure, but to give another kid the rights to his name? Just weird
I think I see what you're saying, but preventing the shooter from profiting on interviews, books, movie deals, etc while in prison doesn't seem bad. When the show Dahmer came out, I didn't watch it, but I remember thinking how awful that had to be for the families of the victims. No matter how he was portrayed, the fact that he and his name was getting more publicity and even a fan following seemed kind of sick. Like making families relive the trauma all over again. And there's been several mass murderers that have directly profited from those kinds of things or relished the idea of an interview because it keeps them relevant. This doesn't mean he doesn't have a name, it means he can't profit off of his life story or the story of the acts that he did. Ever.
Now, I do have mixed feelings about the part where the shooter had to forfeit any insurance beneficiary claims he is named on and has to dedicate his brain and organs to science after death. But I don't know if I would call even those cruel given what he did and his lack of remorse.
Seems like it can all be summed up by forcing the shooter into eventual obscurity except as a subject for medical research. And that might not be a bad thing considering how society has been treating shooters and serial killers up until now. Most people can name 5 mass shooters or serial killers but can't name 5 victims of them.
Happened with prince. Legally he couldn't call himself prince after parting ways with his last company.
@@irregulargamer1352 I don’t like that either
How is this legally possible 😮?
Sounds wildly unconstitutional if he didn’t agree to this on his free will. But hey I guess it doesn’t matter this time
When there are literally no legitimately harsh, righteous, ethical, long-standing consequences to heinous criminal behavior... well, *this* is one tiny, tiny way to push the needle in favor of victims.
REMEMBER: victims get nothing. Crim crims get free food, free clothes, free lawyers, free transportation, free phones, free education, free healthcare, etc. Think about it.
Only at certain prisons, and certainly not at maximum security prisons. Prison is not the dream vacation that you think it is. Maybe you should spend more than 10 minutes thinking about it and research it. You know like you did in 2nd grade.
pretty sure he is in prison for life
@@stevenmitchell1 Nice attempt at gaslighting, but it doesn't change the facts about how intelligent criminals abuse the system in order to loop right through it. Your snarky reply doesn't change anything about how easy it is for seasoned, organized networks of criminals to hit a dozen scores and plan for the fact that they might get pinched on the 12th one. But so what? The profits and resources from the other eleven will simply allow them to bond out and afford any amenities they need. That's the reality, son. You might want to do some research, but I ain't yer instructor. 💪😎✌️

This is just stupid. Overturn this, No one deserves to lose the rights to their own name. Not even a criminal they’re still people. Gross misuse of power at its finest.
I’d rather hear it straight from him rather than a script from victims.
Amazing! I had no idea you could do this. It's Anthony Borges' name that should be remembered, as a very intelligent and resourceful survivor, not the name of the Parkland shooter. We've had enough of these monsters becoming household names and, whether intentionally or not, being set up on a sort of pedestal with their fame
Why not every survivor? Why is he so special? How about the family of the kid who was holding doors open for others that ended up dying? Or a group decision of all those wounded that day. But nah let's make it all about one dude
@afunkymonke nothings wrong with every survivor, they're all brave, but this video isn't about every survivor, it's about Anthony, described by AP News as "the most severely wounded survivor of the 2018 massacre at Parkland Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School".
This is incredible.
This sets a horrible legal precedent and should not be allowed.
Damn, this is actually a pretty intelligent move. Never thought about taking someone's name from them.
Uhmm, I hate to say it, but there is still freedom of speech. If he wants to talk to give an interview, it is still his choice. No?
Not anymore. Freedom of speech only means freedom from government persecution per the Constitution. This is not in violation of the First Amendment as it’s currently written.
I mean, can't they still do interviews just without mentioning his name? They can just refer to him as the "Parkland shooter".
No
Nope.
The real question is why in American media is an interview with criminals ever on the table in the first place. America is psychotic sometimes
this happens everywhere
Curiosity.
Not knowing or understanding criminals helps us how? Not every crime committed is done for fame, in fact most aren't.
He doesn’t “own” his “name”, he owns the RIGHTS to make money from the name. Doesn’t mean a school shooter movie isn’t cooking, it just means Nik gets no money and the other kid would. He can absolutely decide to use Niks name and make money off it. That’s stupid and it’s also stupid for it to have gone to one kid. Should have went to a trust to all the kids impacted.
I agree - it's a bit unfair to the other victims for all future monetary benefits to go to one person.
@@lavenderblues777 yeah that’s my only issue here (well, besides this being a weird precedent that could have huge implications down the line. Like imagine this happening to a celebrity?). I totally get the world we live in now, where crime documentaries are all the rage and getting an interview with a killer would mean killer ratings. I think that says more about us as people than it does about the murderers
Ok but I find it quite unsettling that the goverment has the power to do this.
As a 2A supporter, I’ve strongly suggested that EVERYONE focus more on remembering the names of victims. And avoid mentioning the names of dirtbags that commit such repulsive acts, or post their picture. Looking at the mainstream “news” media on that one.
It's not really the mainstream that's gonna keep Nikolas Cruz legacy alive is it? This comes off as kneejerk. But hey if the effect lasts the survivors lifetime then hey mission accomplished.
I'll pass
This sets a horrible precedent and the judge who ruled on this should be be barred from practicing law
Thank you. It so long before I could find a reasonable comment. Something is very wrong here
My only concern is that all the victims should have gotten a piece.
Like a letter or two of his name? hilarious
@@user-wc6ri2tr5q more like a share in any profits and a vote on how it will be used, Einstein…

Does that mean the money that the killers mom left to him upon her death is now also passed along to Anthony?(to be fair I'm not sure what happen with that money in general) but that's wild. That's just gotta feel different. Too hand over your dead mom's life insurance policy. It's deserved but just wild non the less

So isn’t this also a money move too? Victim can monetize off of his name if he wanted to. Media would have to go through the victim for permission.
no, they mention it tons of times in the video, this was purely to shut him down
the tldr is that he yes has all the rights to his name, but there is no chance in hell he is agreeing to let the killer do interviews or be apart of documentaries.

what legal grounds did they have for this? it wasn't properly explained
What about the other survivors? I understand the shooter can't use his name, but if the others write a book or interview, how does that affect them?
I guess they would have to get permission from this guy….and if he doesn’t give permission then they would just change the name or write “the perpetrator” instead or something.

this cant be legal
Wow:( this kid was smart and so glad he can get more justice. Our prayers are with you.
That’s messed up now. Will never be able to see the movie.😢
this is hilarious but the precedent this could set is a little scary. I mean imagine someone owning your name and effectively silencing you from communication. what if a corporation does this to whistleblowers? this guy is a pos for killing those kids but again, the precedence this could set is crazy.
Spoiler alert, corporations already own you.
@@doublesunday1268 get off the conspiracy subreddits kid
@@Hal_142 this babydick really got offended at me for agreeing with them lmfao I'm a conspiracy theorist because I said the thing they are worrying about is already happening 💀 blindingly stupid and so proud of it
@Hal_142 They've literally put chemicals which will stay in our bodies and cause damage forever for decades before the media finally got forced to speak on it... what exactly have the consequences been for them? Why exactly do you think the media has been dead silent on an issue that was obvious and widespread more than 20 years ago?
PTSD is a life sentence. So many people dont understand that. This guy destroyed way too many lives. These kids will be suffering their entire lives, with severe consequences to their relationships, careers, future.
I hate to say this.. There has been so many of these mass shootings that I cannot remember this particular one.🤦🏿♀️
Move to Alaska. Much safer.
Wow that’s sad. Or just America.😢
@@Grasshopper.80 both are true
This is one of the 8 worst massacres in US history .
75% are committed by 🤷🏿♂️
Man when that attorney talks my head hurts
they should also require him to change his name to "Poop Goblin McCruzty"
I'm surprised that hasn't already happened.. at this rate
Am I new or something.. why would the killer agree to this? He’s serving 34 consecutive life sentences. Am I missing how this could benefit him? I’m not saying I’m not glad, I’m just legitimately confused what his part of the ‘settlement’ is.
The name ... for preventing him interviewing, eh maybe. But the truth is, No criminal should EVER be allowed to profit from their crimes and all who do interviews, and books and get money for that, should have to give that money to their victims. I think it should have been just a part of his sentence, not giving it to one of the survivors... what about the others? The rest of the details listed in the written description are borderline slavery. You should not be able to own another person.
Also, how will this help him move on. As a sexual abuse survivor, my life was destroyed, my future taken. The last thing I would want is to see his name or be in charge of anything to do with him. Instead, I slowly put my life back together and moved on. How will this kid ever move on if he basically owns this guy .... also, can't the killer just change his name?
I completely understand people wanting "justice." But there IS NO JUSTICE to be found. You will never get your innocence or your loved ones back. This seems to just add salt to a festering wound.
Imagine thinking you won by committing a heinous crime and then being actually legally owned by one of your victims
His lawyer said he’s going to get paid from any Netflix shows😂😂
This is about money. Money for the victim and money for the lawyer ( when he represents Anthony) in any future endeavors.
IF they were to do it, he was putting an example on what it means, but the reality is that this is to prevent any money gain for the killer...
Would you rather have the killer to gain money or the victims? Or are you dense enough to not know the difference?
There's a reason Columbine is practically the only school shooting to get documentaries about it. In fact I don't think there's a single doc on Netflix about any school shooting. You won't see one any time soon
@@TheAccursedEntity how would he get the money?
@@TheAccursedEntityyes. This is ripe for corruption
And making sure a killer doesnt profit off of his story and killings
I remember the devastating trial. The knowledge of what happened to these innocent people is absolutely horrifying. My heart ♥️ goes out to everyone involved.
How you gonna donate your brain when you ain't got one
unfunny
stupidest lawsuit ever!
This seems like absolutely terrible legal precedent to set for the future...
The shooter is now nameless so legally he committed no crime & has to be let out of prison while the survivor needs to report to prison to serve their time.
This is equivalent to slavery.. Just let him sit in jail for life.. anything else is just petty..
PETTY?!
Are you living in the same dimension that we are
@@pimpincodax8128 yes child. PETTY. Learn the definition.. we got a system in check for these clowns..
The media doesn't care. He's "The Parkland Shooter" so what? They will say they can't use his name because...blah blah...he still has a first Amendment right to free speech even from prison. Sounds more like lawyers came up with another way to fleece victims.
Isn’t that against his constitutional rights
Nope because he's a murderer.
@@josephbennett3482 that doesn't change your constitutional rights. People used to say the same thing based off skin color... they legit thought different races were evil criminals.
@@josephbennett3482Just know that even criminals in the United States have constitutional rights 😂.
I don't think it matters in this case since the shooter agreed to the terms.
@@N_May1 Can a felon own a firearm? Can they vote? Maybe you should brush up on law there homey
If someone wants to interview him all they have to do is exclude his name then right? Call him the parkland shooter and not by his real name.
They can’t interview him without this man’s permission. This man owns his likeness as well.
I wonder how will this work for the killers gravestone? Like does the survive get to pick the location and tombstone?
How does one lose rights to their name? I don't understand this. Hopefully it helps this young man heal in some way.
He can't talk publicly about his crime, write books, agree to have films about it, no interviews and so on. He can't profit from it either.
So if there was a book about his crime, Burges would have to agree to it and the profits would be his.
@@-notmycatbut doesn’t that violate your freedom of speech you quite literally can’t force someone to not say something in america that’s a protected birth right that can’t be taken away i understand he’s a pos but if they can take away 1 of your right you best believe they will try to take them all
@@godisgoodgodisgreat3434 From my understanding it's because he agreed to it, if he tried to fight it and appeal, the outcome could be different.
There are already laws prohibiting criminals from profiting from their crime, so that's not a completely new concept.
Personally, I'm not sure how to feel about that. It's a bit of a slippery slope and Burges is one of many victims, but any potential profits, as I understand it, would be received only by him.
Does it mean that if other victims want to talk publicly about their experience they can't mention the name? I hope that's not the case, one victim shouldn't make that decision for others.
If getting your lick bag was a person.. He’s smart, taking his name, making him do scientific studies and donating his body to science after his death. Touché
He owns the killers name? How does that make sense? Someone help
Agree
Borges now owns the *publicity rights* to Cruz's name and likeness.
@@None-ef6nf it doesn’t make sense so what is his new name now if he cannot name himself Cruz
@@None-ef6nf he just wants Nicolas his cruises name because he is a starving person who’s probably a freaking dropout of the college
I disagree with this, what happened to freedom of speech. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Have you ever heard of a "prisoner"
