After former President Donald Trump was booked at the Fulton County Jail in August, his campaign plastered the mugshot on mugs, T-shirts, bumper stickers and beverage coolers.

Trump’s campaign has reported raising millions from gear emblazoned with the former president’s mugshot, but who controls the rights to the image?

Anna Fey, who has worked as an agent in Georgia’s commercial photography industry for more than 35 years, believes Fulton County can and should register the copyright and go after licensing fees.
