So it's illegal for standup comics to do impressions? Or maybe there is some nuance here?

Thanks modeless, I appreciate the comment -- yes, I agree, there is a substantive difference between "us[ing] people's voices" and "[doing an] impression [of someone's voice]". It's good you pointed this out, law can be hard for swes, it can tickle the "unambiguous rule" part of the brain we employ every day.
