> They could have taken auditions from 50 voice actors, come across this one, thought to themselves "Hey, this sounds just like the actress in 'Her', great, let's use them" and that would be fine.
Except that is simply not true. If their intent was to sound like Her, and then they chose someone who sounds like Her, then they're in trouble.
That is false. Read the appellate decision for Midler v. Ford. Remember that's a case where the first court to hear it said "lol no".
You should read it yourself, and the Watts case, and any other impersonator case.
You can use impersonators for parody, but not for selling products.
They didn't use an impersonator.
