It's only been about 5 days since Seedance 2.0 went crazy viral.

Since then:

→ Disney sent a cease-and-desist
→ Paramount sent a cease-and-desist
→ MPAA accused ByteDance of "unauthorized use of US copyrighted works on a massive scale"
→ SAG-AFTRA called it "blatant infringement"

NOW ByteDance just announced they're adding safeguards

The tool was so good it united all of Hollywood against it in less than a week. Meanwhile, Disney has a paid licensing deal with OpenAI to put Marvel and Star Wars characters in Sora.

It was never about protecting art. It's about who gets paid.
