Is this the sort of copyright where ownership can be sold or transferred? The article didn't explain how this works.

If you sell the copyright, does that mean you can no longer look like yourself?

    Non exclusive license? This might be useful to actors if someone generates video of them too.

Usually in Europe, there is no copyleft. Copyright can not be sold. Only the right of use.

    My complaint is that the article makes no mention of these details.

    Is it a moral right which cannot be transferred? Is there a time limit? Does it expire upon death? If not, who inherits the right?

    Or is it more like an economic right, which may be transferred?

    Or is the author using "copyright" in a very broad and non-legal sense?

    California, for example, has laws concerning the misappropriation of likeness, but these are not copyright laws.

    Does the proposed Danish law allow deepfake use by consent, and what counts as consent? If clause §123/43.b of the Microsoft MacGoogleMeta user agreement says "by agreeing to this service you allow us to make and distribute deepfakes" - does that count as consent?

      I was also confused by the word copyright. Because when we think about videos and picutures taken in public. Most of the countries have a law that divide, what is public and what is private. You basically own pictures that are took from you by others in private and also in public to a certain state. My take is, that Denmark wants to implement this not only for visuals (like videos and picture), but also for behaviour.
