NJSA 2C:21-2 Criminal Simulation. A person commits a crime of the fourth degree if, with purpose to defraud anyone or with knowledge that he is facilitating a fraud to be perpetrated by anyone, he makes, alters or utters any object so that it appears to have value because of antiquity, rarity, source, or authorship which it does not possess.

No mention of the existence of a copyright as an element of the offense.

Anyone in NJ buy any of these?

What does it mean to utter an object????

To publish, sell, offer for sale or present in some way. One "utters" a bad check when it is turned over for payment, for example

I guess that would mean voice impersonation, like if I can do a spot-on impression of Morgan Freeman and then use at voice in a radio spot for my product without mention that it's an impersonation?
