Japanese publishers issue joint demand to restrict copywritten content in OpenAI Sora 2
A collection of major Japanese publishers has taken a formal stance against the use of their intellectual property (IP) in OpenAI’s Sora 2 AI video generation platform. Japan’s Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA) has issued a letter to OpenAI demanding that the company restrict the use of copyrighted materials in Sora 2. This includes content from prominent companies such as Sony, Bandai Namco, Square Enix, and several others.
The letter from CODA was announced in a press release on the organization’s website, as reported by Automaton. Alongside the game companies mentioned, several major media companies are also part of this group. These include Aniplex, Studio Ghibli, Kadokawa, and Shueisha.
If OpenAI were to comply with these demands, it would significantly impact Sora 2’s access to popular franchises like Dark Souls, Final Fantasy, Dragon Ball, My Hero Academia, and many more. Studio Ghibli’s distinctive art style, in particular, has been widely mimicked in AI-generated images and videos, though the aesthetic itself may prove more challenging to regulate.
The publishers have thoroughly researched Sora 2 and concluded that it infringes upon their IP rights. This marks the latest copyright controversy surrounding Sora 2, which has already faced denouncements from the Motion Picture Association, the estate of Martin Luther King Jr., and SAG-AFTRA, including voices like Bryan Cranston.
