Violates North Carolina's Right of Publicity Law
http://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/north-carolina-right-publicity-law
In Flake v. Greensboro News, 212 N.C. 780 (1938), the North Carolina Supreme Court recognized a cause of action for the unauthorized use of one's photograph or likeness in connection with an advertisement or other commercial enterprise. In Flake, the plaintiff brought suit on the basis of an advertisement published in a local newspaper that featured a picture of her dressed in a bathing suit. She showed evidence that the photograph was published in this instance without her consent. The court held that the unauthorized use of a plaintiff's photograph in connection with an advertisement or other commercial enterprise would give rise to a cause of action, but that absent a showing of special damages, only nominal and injunctive relief could be granted.
