Soundalikes

Coca-Cola denies its ad copied Johnny Cash's voice in an ELVIS Act case with no AI in it

Coca-Cola has answered the Johnny Cash estate's lawsuit over a college-football ad sung by a Cash tribute performer, admitting the ad uses "a male singing voice" but denying it infringes. The most prominent case yet under Tennessee's AI-era voice law, as far as we know, turns on a human soundalike, which is exactly why session singers and tribute acts should follow it.
