Summary
Hasbro, parent company of Peppa Pig, is facing backlash for allegedly requiring child voice actors on the show to sign contracts granting indefinite rights to capture, clone, train, or reuse their voices for AI training and models. The Agents of Young Performers Association (AYPA) published an open letter with nearly 1,000 signatories condemning the practice, though the company was not explicitly named in the letter. The controversy adds to Peppa Pig's recent public relations challenges.
