I wonder if Scarlett Johansson really has a legal copyright since Warner Bros. owns the rights to the movie "Her." It would be like Dan Castellaneta trying to get a copyright for Homer Simpson when the character is owned by Fox.

It's not copyright, you can't copyright a voice, it's down to likeness laws. It seems to me that they clearly invoked her likeness as a celebrity.

It'll be interesting to see what happens if she sues and refuses to settle.
