    I wonder how much his estate was paid for their "permission"

    there's only one person who's permission matters and it's the one person unable to give it

      No you can just train the Ai on all his info and it can figure out if he would have wanted it, surprise they always say yes.

      But they're dead so we created their likeness trained on their breadth of works and the likeness says it's okay so it's okay
