Hot on the heels of Sora 2’s release, the Motion Picture Association has called on OpenAI to take “immediate and decisive action” in addressing copyright infringements stemming from the new AI video service.
The MPA’s Monday statement points to numerous videos generated by Sora 2 using copyrighted material from films and television shows. Clips of these AI-generated videos quickly spread on social media in the wake of the tool’s Sept. 30 release.
“Since Sora 2’s release, videos that infringe our members’ films, shows, and characters have proliferated on OpenAI’s service and across social media. While OpenAI clarified it will ‘soon’ offer rightsholders more control over character generation, they must acknowledge it remains their responsibility – not rightsholders’ – to prevent infringement on the Sora 2 service. OpenAI needs to take immediate and decisive action to address this issue. Well-established copyright law safeguards the rights of creators and applies here.”
