Easy peasy, yes/no answer.

From your understanding, is looking/sounding like somebody else (even if its famous) prosecutable or not?

No. And if a lawmaker claimed they would like it to be, and then claimed they meant civilly litigible, they’d be labelled dishonest. (Even if it was an honest mistake.)

Great, then we agree. :^)


Yeah, I agree too. It's not prosecutable... But it is sue-able.

So, to return to your original point: Did you have one?
