"Seedance 2.0 caught heat from Hollywood studios almost immediately upon its release, after user-generated videos including a viral AI clip of Brad Pitt fighting Tom Cruise sparked concerns that copyrighted works were used in training the model."
"A month after Seedance 2.0's launch in China sparked cease-and-desist letters from Disney and Paramount Skydance over its use of copyrighted materials, its developer ByteDance has reportedly hit pause on the release of the AI video tool in other regions."
"In February, ByteDance told the that it is 'taking steps to strengthen current safeguards as we work to prevent the unauthorised use of intellectual property and likeness by users.'"
Seedance 2.0, an AI video generation tool launched by ByteDance in China in February, faced immediate legal action from major Hollywood studios Disney and Paramount Skydance. The cease-and-desist letters cited concerns about copyrighted materials used in training the model, particularly after viral user-generated videos featuring AI-generated scenes of celebrities like Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise emerged. Following this backlash, ByteDance suspended the tool's planned global expansion to other regions. The company previously stated it was strengthening safeguards to prevent unauthorized use of intellectual property and likenesses by users.
