From now on it is prohibited to use the voice of the pope for commercial purposes. The Vatican created this new law to avoid the abuse of Benedict XVI's voice, as well as the voice of previous popes, for purposes that the Vatican say would violate the “honor, reputation, respect and prestige of the pope.”
The law specifically copyrights the use of the voice, but it also includes their images and writings. They say this will help avoid manipulation of documents from the papal Magisterium, and to regulate them from being used for commercial purposes.
The Vatican is concerned about the creation of souvenirs that could be offensive, such as lollipops or beverages that carry the pope's image.
They can also denounce those who abuse the image, voice or writings of cardinals and bishops from the papal Curia.
