Warner Bros. Accuses ByteDance of Seedance IP Theft, Demands Safeguards
TL;DR
Warner Bros. Discovery sent a cease-and-desist to ByteDance, alleging that Seedance 2.0 copies copyrighted DC characters and launched without safeguards; it demands ByteDance stop training on studio content, identify training materials, block user-shared infringing videos, and revoke licenses if materials were shared; the move follows similar threats from Disney and Paramount as studios push safeguards for AI-generated content.
