    The bill has also been endorsed by entertainment companies such as The Walt Disney Company, Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group, Sony Music, the Independent Film & Television Alliance, William Morris Endeavor, Creative Arts Agency, the Authors Guild, and Vermillio.

    I don’t think something being pushed by Sony music, universal music and Disney is going to be good for the consumer.:

    DIGITAL REPLICA.-The term “digital replica” means a newly created, computer-generated, highly realistic electronic representation that is readily identifiable as the voice or visual likeness of an individual

    There’s a reason why we can’t copyright a voice. I can’t wait for YouTube to delist all my videos because they algorithms decided I sound too much like Ben Affleck.

    There’s essentially 3 companies that own all our music. This bill is their attempt at making sure they are the only ones that can offer music generation services.

      My bet on why they are endorsing it: if they get an actor to sign something for Disney to use their image while they are alive, then they can hold onto that exclusive right to the image for 70 years after the actor dies.
