The "NO FAKES Act of 2026" aims to protect individuals' voice and visual likeness rights, extending them beyond their lifetime and addressing digital replicas and user-generated content. It outlines post-mortem rights registration, liability for distributing unauthorized replicas, and requirements for online service providers to take down unauthorized content. The bill also sets a time limit for civil actions related to unauthorized replicas and prohibits the use of disclaimers as a defense. Additionally, it preempts state laws on likeness rights, includes provisions for severability and retroactive effect, and establishes an effective date 180 days after enactment. This bill primarily impacts online service providers, right holders, and individuals uploading content, particularly unauthorized sound recordings.
