Allow me to help you correct your answers:
>Is it illegal to hire a voice actor that sounds like Darth Vader? No.
Actually, yes it can be.
>Is it illegal to hire a voice actor that sounds like Her? No.
Once again it can be.
>Does that mean it's illegal for another voice actor to (according to some) sound similar to a character from a poplar movie? No.
Yet again it can be.
As a lawyer that’s been practicing for over 10 years, IP law and contract law is far more complex and nuanced that your rhetorical questions and answers suggest.
Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.
Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
Have a nice day, or actually don't, since you're working one of the most evil professions there is ;)
Also rest assured evil lawyers are not the source of your problem. Maybe one day if you and your IP/likeness get ripped off like OpenAI did to SJ, you’ll find lawyers aren’t so evil after all. Maybe you will come to realize for every evil lawyer there is always lawyer fighting on the other side against that evil.
Once again what do I know, I’m an evil lawyer that does pro bono legal services for children that have been abused, abandoned and neglected as well as victims of torture at the hands of foreign governments as part of my evil profession.
Good luck to you!
