Don't Die in New York State - you may have problems

The IP Quote of the day goes to Mark Roesler, the owner of Indianapolis-based CMG Worldwide, which manages the Monroe publicity rights:

“This sends a message to famous people in New York that if you die in New York you may have problems.”

This, after a potentially very significant set back for post mortem right of publicity claims in New York State.

Personally, I can't quite see how dying in New York State is much more problematic than dying anywhere else, at least for the deceased.
