If nobody said anything, would anyone know or care?
What if they just thought her voice set the mood. They couldn't get Johansson so they set out to find something similar and found it.
So what? They didn't say it was Johansson so no one could claim she endorsed it. How many times have you heard something on the radio/TV and thought it was some actor when it wasn't?
If she said nothing in public, nothing would have come of this. She could have writen them in private.
This is much ado about nothing and nothing happened.
- Sirizarry 2y agoI think it’s PR. Don’t know for what or why but nobody I knew, or myself, had even thought of SJ when we saw the videos. Absolutely nobody cared who the voice sounded like the only thing that mattered was that it sounded like it was coming on to you. Very weird tbh

There's at least two cases of legal precedent where companies had to pay out millions to artists, though musicians in these cases, for soundalikes after they couldn't negotiate originals. Midler v. Ford Motor Co, 1988 (won on appeal) Waits v. Frito-Lay, 1992 (won and won appeal) I won't comment further since I'm certainly not a legal expert and this is going to be settled by the parties or will be determined by a court. I mostly wanted to mention "Tom Waits sued Doritos"
