And what relevance does that have here? What you're talking about are people who charge money for appearing in productions, who are made to appear as if they appeared in productions that they did not appear in. This can have both monetary and reputational damage. But this is wholly irrelevant to the Holodeck, which within the Star Trek universe is explicitly a fictional facsimile of any person, place, or thing. If Geordi created Peelee in one of his holodeck simulations, then I would have no monetary or reputational damage (or any other damage), because it is not a production, and no reasonable person would believe that it was, or that I was involved in it in any capacity.

At the most actionable, it would be likeness rights, but unless it's a holodeck novel that is being published for widescale use (or sold by, say, Quark, in a place outside or at the edge of the Federation space, which still engages in currency), there's really no actual damages.
