"The announcement follows a cease-and-desist letter from Disney. ByteDance released Seedance 2.0 less than a week ago and enraged artists everywhere with a viral clip AI-generated clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt fighting. Unsurprisingly, the AI video-making tool has reportedly already received multiple cease-and-desist letters around copyright infringement. Now, it appears ByteDance is going to curb the new media generator's use of prohibited content."
"In a statement to the BBC, ByteDance said, "We are taking steps to strengthen current safeguards as we work to prevent the unauthorised use of intellectual property and likeness by users." It added that the company "respects intellectual property rights and we have heard the concerns regarding Seedance 2.0." However, when pressed for more information on exactly how they would do this, ByteDance didn't respond."
ByteDance released Seedance 2.0 less than a week ago and a viral AI-generated clip depicting Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt fighting triggered widespread backlash. Multiple cease-and-desist letters have been sent to the company alleging copyright infringement. The Walt Disney Company accused Seedance 2.0 of using "a pirated library of Disney's copyrighted characters from Star Wars, Marvel, and other Disney franchises," and provided example videos featuring Spider-Man and Darth Vader. Paramount Skydance also reportedly issued a cease-and-desist. ByteDance stated it will strengthen safeguards to prevent unauthorised use of intellectual property and likeness, asserted respect for IP rights, and declined to specify further measures.
