    That doesn’t make it legal, let alone ethical. As a performer, her likeness, including her voice, is protected by personality rights. There have been multiple lawsuits over soundalikes in the past.

      Oh definitely. If they used her voice in that way, not okay at all. I’m not sure if they have because I keep seeing contradicting arguments, but if they did, 100% agree with you that just because it’s out there, doesn’t mean you can take it and profit on it.
