If voice cloning violates right of publicity when sound recordings are fed into a model directly, does hiring a voice actor to imitate a voice and then feeding the imitated voice into a model violates right of publicity as well?

    If you create something and try to sell it as something it is not, that’s fraud regardless of whether someone’s identity is wrapped up.

    Also yes, any and all unapproved usage of someone’s likeness is a violation. You’re copying their likeness whether it’s from them or an impersonator.
