Ramsey wishes to seize control of intellectual rights on the use of his image

The man rescuing three women held captive for a decade in the home of Ariel Castro of Cleveland, now celebrated local hero Charles Ramsey, is saying no to a free burgers for life offer.

As I mentioned, his bravery in acting on Amanda Berry's pleas for assistance and helping her break free was compensated by a series of fast food diners in town.

AMP 150, Washington Place Bistro and Inn and Market Garden Brewery joined in and offered Ramsey free meals, as he did say that he was eating a McDonald's meal when he heard Berry.

Ramsey has hired a lawyer to protect his intellectual rights, as his image is now being used for video games and ads. One particular game, which Ramsey disapproves of, shows him and Castro in a burger battle, the Cleveland Plain Dealer writes.

"He is encouraging people to do things that will help the victims," attorney Patricia Walker adds on her client rejecting the offer.
