Hiring a different voice artist might show that they didn't use deepfake technology to imitate Johansson’s voice, but it absolutely doesn't prove that the voice isn't an imitation and one for which they would have been liable under existing law.

>>dragon+aU1
voice imitation is illegal?

>>apwell+nU1
Copying likeness can be.

>>monoca+jV1
Not for commercial purposes and not in California. Otherwise you’d just hire an impersonator and never pay for celebrity endorsement.

>>hehdhd+F12
And whats wrong with hiring an impersonator?

>>postal+xd2
If not for parody, it's normally a violation of likeness rights.

>>monoca+be2
Are those rights only celebrities enjoy?

>>postal+6f2
Kind of, not in that there is a binary “celebrity/not-celebrity” divide, but the interest protected and the potential for damages from violating them are associated with the kind of public commercial exposure that is associated with celebrity.
