NC judge dismisses lawsuit by former NC State basketball players over use of their names and images in game footage.

A North Carolina judge dismissed a lawsuit by 12 former NC State basketball players from the 1983 championship team, who sought compensation for the use of their names, images, and likenesses in game footage. The court ruled the claims were untimely and not enforceable under the federal Copyright Act. This follows a similar case dismissal involving a former Kansas player.
