AI likeness should be public domain after the actor's death.

It's ridiculous how long and extensive intellectual property has become. I'd roll back copyright terms to maybe 50 years, expand fair use, and deny protection to actors' likeness after death, regardless of whether a studio or the actor's estate claims to own it.

An actor’s heirs have at least as good a case for retaining image and likeness rights as Disney does, for holding on to the rights for Mickey Mouse all these years.

All these things are why I stick to watching quality films from 50-70 years ago.

“New” films for me are The Dirty Dozen, Bullitt, 2010, The Sting, early Bond, early Eastwood, Psycho, Cool Hand Luke, etc.
