    It’ll be fun when she turns this into “you can lease my likeness for money” and ushers in the age of legal deepfakes.

      I think it would be ideal for everyone to have copyright privileges on their name and likeness (visual, audio, biometric, probably other things I’m forgetting) by default. If you want to work with a publishing label or w/e and grant them a limited license to reproduce your likeness, fine. But it should be protected from public use without explicit authorization without regular folks having to do anything.

        That would work for ten minutes before some company has in their EULA that by agreeing, you hand over the copyright.
