How is it unfair to the voice actor? Is she getting sued? Is she paying damages? Is she being prevented from doing her work? No.

> Who's to say it isnt the other way around, perhaps it is ScarJo that sounds like me and i'm owed money?

It seems like you don't get the fundamental principal underlying "right of publicity" laws if you are asking this question.

Seems she is prevented from doing work, if companies can get sued for hiring/using voice actors who sounds like ScarJo, then any voice actor who sounds like ScarJo has effectively been de-platformed. Similarly, imagine I look very much like George Clooney -- if George Clooney can sue magazines for featuring my handsome photos, then I lose all ability to model for pay. (Strictly hypothetical, I am a developer, not a fashion model.)

Totally, i have no idea of the laws here, but very curious to understand what OpenAI did wrong here.

You are skipping past intent and turning it into strict liability. That's not the case.

It is illegal to profit off the likeness of others. If it wasn't, what's to stop any company from hiring any impersonator to promote that company as the person they are impersonating?
