argument: Notizie/News - Intellectual Property Law

Based on an article by CNBC Africa, voice actors Paul Skye Lehrman and Linnea Sage have filed a class-action lawsuit against the AI startup Lovo in the Manhattan federal court. They allege that Lovo tricked them into providing voice samples under false pretenses and subsequently used these samples in its AI voiceover technology without consent. The actors claim their voices were used in various media, including YouTube videos and Lovo promotional materials, under different names. They seek at least $5 million in damages, accusing Lovo of fraud, false advertising, and violation of publicity rights. This case highlights a broader issue of content misuse by tech companies for AI development.
