ByteDance has promised to fix issues with its AI video tool Seedance 2.0 after Hollywood groups claimed it violates copyright laws. The tool, which is now only available in China, allows users to create AI videos using simple text prompts. Hollywood’s Motion Picture Association (MPA) said Seedance 2.0 "has engaged in unauthorized use of US copyrighted works on a massive scale." Charles Rivkin, MPA chairman and CEO, said, "ByteDance should immediately cease its infringing activity." Actor unions also protested. SAG-AFTRA said the tool "uses our members' voices and likenesses without permission" and called the infringement "unacceptable." Screenwriter Rhett Reese warned on X, "It’s likely over for us," responding to viral AI videos showing Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. ByteDance responded by saying it "respects intellectual property rights" and is "taking steps to strengthen current safeguards." Entertainment lawyer Jonathan Handel said this is only the "beginning of a difficult road" for the film industry. He expects AI-generated videos and movies to impact the industry heavily as these tools often use unlicensed data that can resemble famous faces and scenes, raising complex copyright and trademark issues.
