<not2b> The answer, based on two different court precedents (Bette Midler, Tom Waits), is that the company can't do that. Companies cannot hire soundalike people to advertise their products after the person with a distinctive voice they really wanted declined. Doesn't matter if they hired a soundalike and used her voice.

- s1artibartfast 2y agoI think it says something different about intent, rights, and expectations if someone engineers a voice model based on someone's copyright work, versus just finding another real human who's voice is close enough to what you want.
- tivert 2y agoI suppose it could be materially different, in that it's even worse than just hiring a soundalike. And I don't think the issue here is so much copyright as it is likeness rights.
