    It’s not copyright infringement. You can’t copyright a style, which is basically what a voice amounts to.

    This is something new. It’s a way of taking something that we always thought of as belonging to a person, and using it without their permission.

    At the moment the closest thing is trademark infringement, assuming you could trademark your personal identity (which you can’t). The harms are basically the same, deliberately passing off something cheap or dodgy as if it was associated with a particular entity. Doesn’t matter if the entity is Stephen fry or Pepsi Max.

            That’s not reproduction of content so isn’t a copyright violation. Not shouldn’t be. Literally right now is not.
