This feels so wrong to use someone's likeness withiut their permission after their passing
It's necromancy.
I don't see an issue if a living person wants to sign away their rights for this. But, if someone's already dead, and they were never asked, creating new material with their likeness should be off-limits.
A good use of the tech is to restore and enhance old films. That's exciting, this other thing is dildos.
After you're dead there's no way to get permission. It's up to whoever holds the rights to your likeness.
what a gross phrase
If nobody holds the rights to your likeness then anyone can use them for whatever.
