Netflix and Warner Bros join Disney and Paramount in calling out ByteDance's latest AI platform

Major Hollywood studios including Netflix, Warner Bros. Discovery, Disney, and Paramount have issued cease-and-desist letters to ByteDance over its new AI video platform, Seedance 2.0. The studios allege that the platform, which recently went viral for deepfake videos of actors like Tom Cruise, was trained on their copyrighted material without authorization. ByteDance has pledged to implement new safeguards as the legal pressure from the industry's largest players continues to mount.
