An Act relative to the contracting of digital replicas

H 4832 clarifies contract rules around digital replicas (computer-generated voice or likeness representations) for performers and creators. It makes contract clauses allowing digital replicas to replace in-person work unenforceable after January 1, 2026, if the agreement lacks clear usage details or the individual didn't have proper legal or union representation during negotiation. The bill specifically excludes standard copyright uses like sampling, remixing, or authorized remastering. It directly affects performers signing new contracts involving digital replicas for professional services starting in 2026.
