If you made a painting for me, and then I started making copies of it without your permission and selling them off, while I might not have stolen the physical painting, I have stolen your art.
Just because they didn't rip his larynx out of his throat, doesn't mean you can't steal someone's voice.
Well, I just printed a picture of the Mona Lisa.
Did I steal the Mona Lisa? Or did I just copy it? Reproduce it?
You’re also not causing da Vinci to potentially miss out on jobs by copying it. You’re also not taking away his ability to say no to something he doesn’t want to be associated with.
That's fine. I'm not arguing this is a bad thing, I'm just being pedantic about the word theft.
Having your voice used to say things you didn't say is a terrifying prospect. Combined with deep faking takes it one step further.
But is it technically theft?
Yes, actually. In the same way as copyright infringement or identity theft could be considered so.
Bette Midler vs Ford
Wow the court obviously got this one wrong. Imitation is in no way stealing someone's voice.
Not to mention with billions of people walking around is anyone's voice really unique? I have met hundreds of people in my life who sound so much alike it is hard to distinguish them.
Your link didn't say anything about theft...
The idea obviously doesn't apply to the public domain.
We're getting into samantics but it's counterfeit not stolen.
It would be more like if you made a painting for me, and I then used that to replicate your artistic style and used that to make new paintings without your permission and passed it off as your work.
