Google pulls AI-generated videos of Disney characters from YouTube in response to cease and desist
"the company removed dozens of videos featuring Deadpool, Moana, Mickey Mouse, Star Wars characters and other Disney IP as of Friday, just days after Disney accused it of "infringing Disney's copyrights on a massive scale." The letter, seen by both publications earlier this week, called out Google not just for hosting these videos on YouTube, but also for using copyrighted works to train models including Veo and Nano Banana."
"Prior to this, Disney has come after Character.AI as well as and Midjourney - both of which it's suing - over AI-related copyright infringement. But, that doesn't mean it's shunning AI-generated content altogether. The company on Friday announced a deal with OpenAI that will bring Disney characters to Sora and ChatGPT, and bring AI-generated shorts from Sora to Disney+."
Disney accused Google of infringing its copyrights on a massive scale by hosting AI-generated videos featuring Disney characters and by using copyrighted works to train models such as Veo and Nano Banana. Google removed dozens of YouTube videos featuring Deadpool, Moana, Mickey Mouse, Star Wars characters and other Disney IP shortly after the accusation. Disney previously pursued legal action against Character.AI and Midjourney for AI-related copyright infringement. Disney also announced a deal with OpenAI to bring Disney characters to Sora and ChatGPT and to distribute AI-generated shorts from Sora on Disney+.
