What do SAG-AFTRA's contract bulletins (2024) and the 2026 TV/Theatrical MOA say about digital replicas of voice and likeness: definitions, notice, consent, pay and strikes?

Partially verified: the curator re-read S12; S10, S8 were not re-read by the curator and rest on the producer's pinned reading. Under the 2026 SAG-AFTRA MOA (1 July 2026 to 30 June 2030), creating an employment-based digital replica needs at least 48 hours' notice and consent, scans need an articulable business reason, and post-production alterations for noise reduction, timing, pitch or tone and clarity (among others) do not need replica consent. This matters for dialogue cleanup on SAG-AFTRA-covered pictures. Curator qualifications: Partially verified: the curator re-read S12; S10, S8 were not re-read by the curator and rest on the producer's pinned reading. Curator GET 2026-10-23 of the sources not re-read (mechanical source evidence, not semantic verification): S10: HTTP 200, bytes equal to the producer pin; S8: HTTP 200, bytes equal to the producer pin. Contract text read 2026-10-22; marked-up agreement (deleted and inserted words appear together in extraction); not legal advice. 2024 bulletin statements (S8, S10) and the 64.G security duty history from producer reading. Limitations: Contract text read 2026-10-22; marked-up agreement (deleted and inserted words appear together in extraction); not legal advice. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
