First of all, OMG that video was horrific. Dude looked like Finn Jones in the Iron Fist fight scenes - stiff as a board.

Second, this will be interesting because there are tons of singers who imitate other singers' voices (see video below) but to sue over it..

The sample thing has already been established. I believe he needs permission and/or has to pay a fee or royalties. But this is about imitating his voice. Interesting.
