How is it different than someone making a funny video where they impersonate David Attenborough? Those aren’t generally considered disrespectful, right?
Like, I get the potential scale is different. But this is some joke video, not someone trying to actually replace David Attenborough or something.
- asylteltine 3y agoI agree and the difference is commercial rights and intent. Parody, jokes, etc are fine. Using this to replace him on a documentary, not okay. Fair use already covers this all they have to do is extend copyright protections to peoples likeness and voices

I think it's legal if you're the copyright holder, e.g. Disney putting dead actors in their movies did not need anybody's permission, nor does any derivative work such as videogames as they own the image right to the characters they play. It would be interesting if they did a Planet Earth IV with Attenbrough's voice without his consent as David plays himself really...Not a fictional character.
