That's for [commercial] use of a specific slogan related to his name. Even without using a name, mimicking short phrases like, "Let's get ready to rumble!" or Bruce Buffer's "It's Time!" can run into intellectual property problems. But those are specific, highly-recognizable catch phrases, not similar to the issue with this AI-generated song.
Someone else in this thread tried to provide a case on point, but it doesn't seem to be, either.
Has anyone been successfully sued for mimicking someone else's voice and singing an original song?
Has anyone been successfully sued for mimicking someone else's appearance, and parading around and taking advantage of that likeness, without falsely claiming (in seriousness) to be the mimicked person (which might be fraud or something)?
