Every day draws us closer to The Right to Read world.

If someone is copying and selling your work as created by you, that is one thing. Sounding like you, well guess what, your voice isn't copyrightable, and really in I see no world in which we'd want that.

Moreso, this is going to end up in lawsuits like we saw in the open source world in the 2000s in the SCO vs Linux debacle. "That voice sounds kinda like me, so it must have been trained on my data!"
