Funny that they seem to have switched the paper's title and figures from Kevin Spacey to Tom Hanks http://arxiv.org/abs/1506.00752 http://arxiv.org/abs/1506.007

- deGravity 11y agoI talked to the author about this - apparently Kevin Spacey's lawyers asked them to change it.
- ericflo 11y agoI can imagine why - seems this will be an interesting legal/ethical question for our society in the next decade.
- Pyxl101 11y agoI'm not a lawyer but I would guess that there is no reason they need to change it. As long as they're not profiting from the likenesses of the celebrities they're emulating, then the paper is likely to be considered free speech that does not violate their privacy or publicity rights. See the legality of fair-use of someone's likeness. Some states might have different laws.
