I see Hollywood is now very into the idea of buying something once and then owning it forever and being able to make infinite copies. Which. Isn't quite the message they imparted upon me in my childhood. I the spirit of their own long-held stance:
A photoshopped version of the "You wouldn't download a car" ad saying: "You wouldn't download an actor"
Jet Li refused to be in the Matrix sequels after the Wachowskis told him they're were going to copy his appearance and kung fu moves so they could use them forever.
Digital doubles for things like unsafe stunts are fine. Using them so you never have to pay an actor again is very much not.
