Seedance 2.0

ByteDance’s new AI video tool, Seedance 2.0, is facing intense backlash from Hollywood. Major studios, including Disney and Paramount, have issued cease-and-desist letters, alleging the platform infringes on copyrighted characters and celebrity likenesses. The Motion Picture Association has demanded ByteDance halt “infringing activity,” citing massive unauthorized use of intellectual property. ByteDance has pledged to enhance safeguards to prevent misuse and respect creators’ rights amidst growing AI and copyright tensions.
