Silly Question?

Forgive me if this is a really silly or dumb question but it's been puzzling me. I heard Stephen Hawking this week, and listening to 'his' voice, which is very cleverly computer generated I wondered if his voice has copyright to it. Could anybody for example use his voice to advertise a product without his permission but without necessarily claiming to be Stephen Hawking himself? As it's computer generated wouldn't anyone be able to use it. I don't have anything to advertise and have no intention of using his voice, just curious.

Forgive me, but I think the bloke is nothing special. He is fully signed up to the big bang theory.
It is cosmological heresy to believe in anything else. As a research institute, you are less likely to get funding if you do not support the big bang theory.

Most physicists agree that the Big Bang theory is the most likely theory to explain the existence of the universe. But it's still only a theory, and could be overtaken by better theories, just like the earth being the centre of the universe was superceeded by later theories. And he has been pretty instrumental in the field of Black Holes, he's 'nothing special' in the same way Einstein was 'only a patent clerk'.0 -
