That's horrifying. Almost as bad is seeing that people think it's okay just because his family gave a thumbs up. Great example of people valuing convenience over principles. I would prefer simply making it illegal to use a dead person's image/voice/etc, at least for some number of years after their death.

Once you are dead, you no longer own your body, your voice or likeness. You cease to care about nebulous worldly concepts like intellectual property rights.

Those actions do affect your (living) family and friends. I would find it appalling if a relative or friend died and suddenly new works came out with "them" speaking via DeepFake/etc.
We could just dump corpses in an abyss and clean it up every so often, but we don't, for various reasons.

If you think this is about IP you're completely missing the point.
