I think so. If you personally made "George Carlin AI Album #2" or whatever and put it on YouTube and didn't link it to some moneymaking venture, I doubt they would be suing. This is two comedians using a third, dead, comedian to generate revenue for their own comedy.
Even though the AI Carlin said numerous times that it was not the real Carlin?
It'll be interesting to see how this lawsuit develops.
Ford never said the singing voice was Bete Middler's in this case- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midler_v._Ford_Motor_Co.
Such an idiotic ruling.
If someone can sing, with their own voice, then that's their singing voice. It shouldn't matter if it sounds like someone else, because it's not them!
It's idiotic because it essentially creates limits for talent and skill in an artistic sense.
There's a band called Greta Van Fleet who sounds exactly like Led Zeppelin, they've even done Zep covers, and it would be completely asinine to punish them (and fans) for having a certain sound.
