Waits won because they were clearly intending to impersonate his voice, while singing his song. Not because a random guy on the radio sounded like him.
Ditto for SJ--there was a clear intent to reproduce her specific voice, based on her role in "Her".
Again, there wasn't. An article literally came out today that they had contracted the VA before contacting SJ. [1]
Honestly this argument right here is what the slippery slope argument is all about. If you continue any further, you're just further proving it. They literally didn't even contact SJ before hand.
>while singing his song
You even added this caveat before, its already the slippery slope in action. No song was being sung here.
