Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Massachusetts
Videos shot in public domain
If a video was hot of me delivering a speech at a public event, do I have any rights in regard to said video?
Specifically, do I have the right to ask a website to remove the video if I feel they are using my image to promote their site?
I know I do not have any legal claim to the actual video, but I assume I still have rights concerning when/how my image is used?

You may a number of rights in this situation. The laws of intellectual property, commercial use, certain protected rights covering defamation, false light, first amendment, and a host of other interesting and complex overllapping rights may be at play here.
You would be wise to consult with legal practitioners who are learned and skilled in this area. Good luck!
