Q: My voice is being used by a medical office that I no longer work for. Are they at liberty to do so?
I resigned in 2014, it's an after hours message.
A: If you resigned from the medical office in 2014, they may not use your voice for an after-hours message without your permission. Using your voice without your consent could potentially infringe upon your rights, including your right to control your likeness and voice. To address this situation, you may want to reach out to the medical office and request that they cease using your voice for the after-hours message immediately. If they do not comply or if you face any difficulties, consulting with an attorney who specializes in intellectual property or employment law can help you understand your legal options and take appropriate action to protect your rights. It's essential to assert your rights and seek a resolution that aligns with your preferences regarding the use of your voice.
