"In a single day, the Chinese AI service Seedance 2.0 has engaged in unauthorized use of U.S. copyrighted works on a massive scale."
"By launching a service that operates without meaningful safeguards against infringement, ByteDance is disregarding well-established copyright law that protects the rights of creators and underpins millions of American jobs."
"I hate to say it. It's likely over for us."
ByteDance launched Seedance 2.0 and released it to Chinese Jianying users with plans to expand via CapCut globally. The model generates up to 15-second videos from simple text prompts and can produce likenesses of real people and studio-owned intellectual property. Viral examples included AI-created footage of well-known actors, prompting immediate backlash. The Motion Picture Association, SAG-AFTRA, and the Human Artistry Campaign condemned the tool and demanded that ByteDance stop infringing activity. Industry representatives warned that the lack of meaningful safeguards threatens creators' copyrights and the jobs that depend on them.
