Using famous actors for promotions after they die is already a business[0].
But why bother with living musicians or their estates at all? Use deepfake technology to generate a physical persona, and AI to generate a voice and style, all unique enough to be legally distinct and copyrightable, and fully owned by a company. Live performances can even be done via hologram.
I can easily imagine a future where most creative media, including movies, is entirely or almost entirely AI generated. Certainly, actors and performers won't be real people.
