I never though of this question before, so I went down the rabbit hole to find the answer.
I started by checking the ownership of the videos on YouTube (through Content ID). All recent videos are claimed by emails on a domain entonegroup.com. The domain itself yields nothing as it's registered with an extra privacy option.
However the email leads to a lady that works for Entertainment One that also advertises [0] the ownership of the content.
I also checked the earliest videos of Peppa and it seems like they were produced by a different individuals, which would suggest that, at least this show, was acquired by Entertainment One.

- notamy 8y agoYour [0] link 404s for me.
- doh 8y agoI changed it back to the home page. I grabbed the link from their homepage where you can see Peppa Pig, but it doesn't seem to be working directly.
- vpribish 8y agohere's a working one, they aren't hiding it https://www.entertainmentone.com/home/EN/peppa-pig https://www.entertainmentone.com/home/EN/peppa-pig
- notamy 8y agoThis also 404s; like the sibling comment says, it works from the homepage but not if you try to go to it directly.
- philipkglass 8y agoYou'll land on the correct page if you add a trailing slash: https://www.entertainmentone.com/home/EN/peppa-pig/ https://www.entertainmentone.com/home/EN/peppa-pig/ But from the home page you're redirected to an URL without the trailing slash that doesn't work when copied and pasted.

- DouweM 8y agoJust to verify, are you talking about the _real_ Peppa Pig videos, or the fake, weird ones? Because as far as I can gather using Wikipedia, Entertainment One is the company behind the _real_ Peppa Pig. If you're saying that there is also reason to believe that they are behind the _fake_ Peppa Pig, that would be much larger news, which (looking at the amount of interest in the story), it isn't. Edit: Ah, mFixman suggests a plausible explanation: > Entertainment One owns Peppa Pig[1]. It's likely that Content ID thinks Elsagate is legitimate Peppa videos. > [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entertainment_One https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entertainment_One That makes more sense :)
