Odd. This wouldn't typically be covered in contracts class since it's an intellectual property issue beyond the scope of a contracts class. Scarlet Johansen didn't have a contract with OpenAI after all.

What you recall also doesn't sound correct given right of publicity laws.

Tell it to my professor :) I guess I was lucky. And perhaps I was taught incorrectly or remember incorrectly.

But I experience lots of ads with impersonators so maybe they just aren’t sued enough.

Also, Jack Nicholson never stopped Christian Slater from acting, so there must be some room for impersonation.
