This is interesting to hear and if she decides to sue there's extremely clear precedent on her side.

The fact that they reached out to her multiple times and insinuated it was supposed to sound like her with Sam's "her" tweet makes a pretty clear connection to her. Without that they'd probably be fine.

Bette Midler sued Ford under very similar circumstances and won.

I wonder if Scarlett Johansson really has a legal copyright since Warner Bros. owns the rights to the movie "Her." It would be like Dan Castellaneta trying to get a copyright for Homer Simpson when the character is owned by Fox.

It's not copyright, you can't copyright a voice, it's down to likeness laws. It seems to me that they clearly invoked her likeness as a celebrity.

It'll be interesting to see what happens if she sues and refuses to settle.
