Cindy, two rights generally found to be under state law include the right to privacy (a tort concept, and not always a state law concept) and the right to publicity. Only about half of the states address the right to publicity; sometimes states address this issue under the law of unfair competition (I think). I don't think these rights fall under federal copyright law, but I have never actually looked this up myself. There are a few books you can Google that address this and if you are so prepared you can crow triumphantly to your husband that you know the law and he doesn't, which will really annoy him.
