I think he might have a case though. It’s basically like imitating his likeness. Instead of hiring Astley to record new material, they basically either altered a voice or got a soundalike to adds extra material to the song. The argument is that song song gives you the impression that it’s Rick Astley singing the new lines. The implications could be important for the future. Because deepfake vocal technology can actually allow labels to produce new material in the sound of a singer’s voice.

It basically hinges on if the song leads the typical person to believe that Rick Astley is singing the new lines.

So I believe it’s more complicated than the initial reaction. He has a case

Can someone explain why this is Oniony?

Seems like a standard copyright lawsuit

How to upgrade to the full version and is it available on the Pirate Bay?

So she was basically like Cersei Lannister when King Rob was alive. Except for the bit about having a less plotting family

Why not though. It’s not good that other countries win?

Maybe the world is catching up???
