The artificial intelligence (AI) video generation model "Six 2.0" released by TikTok's Chinese parent company ByteDance is facing strong headwinds in Hollywood.
According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the American Film Association (MPA), which represents major U.S. film companies such as Netflix, Disney, and Warner Bros., issued a statement on the 14th (local time) and strongly criticized "Synx 2.0 for using U.S. works without permission on a large scale."
MPA urged an immediate end to infringement, saying, "ByteDance is ignoring copyright laws that protect creators' rights and support millions of U.S. jobs."
Controversy arose as videos generated by users spread through SNS shortly after the release of SENSE 2.0. In particular, the AI-made "Scene of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt Fighting" was known to have been produced in two simple lines of text, which shocked the world.
In addition, famous Hollywood movies such as "Spider-Man," "The Lord of the Rings" and "Star Wars" and videos featuring Disney characters were made indiscriminately. Let Liz, the author of the movie Deadpool, expressed despair, saying, "Our work seems to be over."
The Walt Disney Company has taken legal action by sending a letter to ByteDance asking it to stop copyright infringement.
Disney pointed out in the letter that "ByteDance stole Disney's precious intellectual property rights like free clip art."
The American Actors and Broadcasting Union (SAG-AFTRA) also supported the studios' position, saying, "Six 2.0 ignores the basic principles of law, ethics, industry standards, and consent."
