The extremely obvious legal problem is, ALL simulated voices sound like some real person somewhere, it's just a matter of finding that person.
I don't see a solution to this, so I'll tend to believe the cynic's viewpoint that the final written law will be in favor of whoever has the most lawyers.
- fragmede 3y agoSure. The difference is some voices, like David Attenborough or Samuel Jackson are instantly recognizable to a large audience while someone who isn't famous' voice is not. Where to put the bar is a specific issue, but the exemplars in their category stand out as recognizable.
- jstarfish 3y ago> I don't see a solution to this It's actually simple. Take David Attenborough's name out of the picture. "A generic British guy is now narrating my life" isn't as funny as implicating a known celebrity, which is where the legal issues would arise. A generic British guy isn't going to sue you. Hell, you might even be able to get away with "A generic British guy who sounds like David Attenborough is now narrating my life."
