NY A08882

Expands the definition of "digital replica" to include any highly realistic computer-generated representation of a person's voice or visual likeness in sound recordings, images, or audiovisual works where the person did not perform or where their performance was materially altered

Removes the requirement that unauthorized use of a deceased performer's digital replica must be "likely to deceive the public" to establish liability, replacing it with a simpler knowledge-based standard requiring only that the user knew it was an unauthorized digital replica

Eliminates the safe harbor provision that allowed users to avoid liability by including a conspicuous disclaimer stating the digital replica use was not authorized

Broadens the media safe harbor provision to include streaming services alongside newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and other advertising mediums

Adds a notice-and-takedown requirement for services that display or sell audiovisual works, making them liable if they fail to remove unauthorized digital replicas after receiving a good faith notice from the rights holder
