    It is, as a matter of fact. When Fry recorded his voice for those audiobooks, they were copyrighted. Reproducing the contents of those works as they have is, arguably a violation of copyright.

    And when you compare Steven Frye to Pepsi Max, that’s a false equivalence, because you’re comparing a copyrighted material to a trademarked brand which are two different things.

    Still, to your point of theft, nobody is taking anything from anyone. They are using something without permission, and that still falls squarely as copyright infringement, not theft.

          That’s not reproduction of content so isn’t a copyright violation. Not shouldn’t be. Literally right now is not.

          The whole reason people are so up in arms about this is that we do not currently have laws or even standards that accurately police this kind of thing.
