This is just one action in a coming conflict. It will be interesting to see how this shakes out. Does the record industry win and digital likenesses become outlawed, even taboo? Or does voice, appearance etc just become another sets of rights that musicians will have to negotiate during a record deal?

Corporate middlemen on AI model generated content: "When we do it, it's okay! But when you do it, it's stealing!"

This genie can't be put back in the bottle and what they wished for has became a monkeys paw for the media monopolies who thought they could replace all their artists with an unpaid robot. They'll try to update the laws to stop this but it's already too late.

Music is an imitative communication medium in all human cultures throughout history. The commodification, copyright and control of its distribution was eventually doomed to fail.
