A propos the likeness point, a question to get people's opinions. What is the difference between your skills today which lead to earning potential and an actor's likeness which gives the actor more rights to a continued income stream?
My software engineering skills are more that of a robot and if someone could make many of me, I/we could get a lot more done and that's a good thing. An actor has 1 likeness as their skill so it should be at their discretion. Plenty of overlap between the two situations, but to really replicate my skillset to the point where it could be harnessed outside of my control is a lot more sophisticated than replicating someone's image, voice, mannerisms, etc.
