Defines terms such as "personalized cloning service", "digital voice replica", "voice", "likeness", and digital technology". Provides that every individual has a property right in his or her own likeness and voice. Creates a private cause of action against any person or entity who, without consent of the individual whose voice or likeness rights are affected, does any of the following: (i) distributes or otherwise makes available to the public a personalized cloning service; (ii) publishes or otherwise makes available to the public a digital voice replica or digital depiction with knowledge that the digital voice replica or digital depiction was not authorized by the individual holding the voice or likeness rights so affected; or (iii) materially contributes to or otherwise facilitates any of the conduct proscribed in (i) or (ii) with knowledge that the individual holding the affected voice or likeness rights has not consented to the conduct. Provides remedies in the case of an unauthorized distribution of a personalized cloning service to include damages in an amount equal to the greater of $50,000 per violation or the actual damages and any profits from the unauthorized use that are attributable to such use and are not taken into account in computing the actual damages. Provides that in the case of an unauthorized publication of a digital voice replica or digital depiction, $5,000 per violation or the actual damages and any profits from the unauthorized use that are attributable to such use and are not taken into account in computing the actual damages. Provides that punitive damages and reasonable attorney's fees may also be awarded to the injured person. Provides that First Amendment protections shall constitute a defense to an alleged violation of this Act. In evaluating any such defense, the public interest in access to the use shall be balanced against the intellectual property interest in the voice or likeness. Provides that a person or entity who uses an individual's voice or likeness in a manner that violates this Act shall not be liable if the harm caused by such conduct is negligible. Provides that the Act is operative 180 days after it becomes law.
