Voice Identity Royalties

Projection: Licensed synthetic speech could be metered at generation or distribution, turning each authorized use into a traceable payment to the performer. Voice-market growth establishes demand, not a royalty system. Auditable statements must reconcile actual uses, contract limits, and money delivered before the mechanism deserves trust.
