§ 5-65 Out-of-Context Quotes.
RCNY § 5-65
(a)This section applies to all consumer goods and services which are reviewed or commented upon, such as movies, books, and theater performances.
(b)A seller who uses language from the review or comments of a critic in an advertisement, including those on theater marquees and billboards, may not rearrange or abstract the quoted language in a way that alters the critic's meaning. The seller must disclose that the word or phrase refers only to a limited aspect of the work, if such is the case. Examples: "Beautiful scenery" or "John Jones performs outstandingly" comply with this section as these statements indicate clearly that they refer to limited aspects of the reviews. The word "beautiful" taken from a review which says "the scenery is beautiful" would not comply with this section.
