    That’s a very different issue to someone making an entirely new movie, with that scan as a “character” though.

      Not different at all. Actors do mo-cap work all the time and the performance data is owned by the studio and can be reused on different movies without royalties. The studios are trying to extend that. I see both sides. If the actors don’t take a stand it could be tragic.
