So if I have a company that sells, say, manure, I can search and hire a voice actress that sounds exactly like Scarlett to promote me in radio ads? And write a tweet that vaguely implies that it's really her?

Yes to the first bit, no to the second.

I don't think a reasonable person would interpret Sam's tweet as claiming that Scarlett recorded the voice.

There's legal precedent against the first one. Tom Waits successfully sued Frito Lay after they used a Tom Waits soundalike in a commercial.

if i recall that only won because they contacted Tom first and he said no, which isn't what happened with OAI/SJ
