Voices and victories

[davidsyes/nac]

Is it possible to "impersonate" the voices? Or, are the voices tied to a SDK? 
Just be sure to remember the strummer who contributed to Yahoo! and then (due 
to a bad contract) lost out (he tried to sue, and I don't know the outcome, 
such as "he's entitled to more of the share his little ditty did for Yahoo!). 

So, Tuviah may want use own-voices and then charge self for royalties. This 
way Tuvia can say, "If my voice is successful, and I want more royalties, I 
will sue myself and I will be victorious".
