The Japanese trade association that includes heavy media creators such as Studio Ghibli, Square Enix, and Bandai recently announced that it has sent a letter to October 28 regarding copyright infringement.
The letter includes some observations about the similarity of the 2 sora videos in “Japanese content,” and issues two requests: It requests an OpenAI member without “when a Code member complains about copyright issues.
At worst there is something like a “demand” for ‘immediate action,’ or any kind of direct legal threats.
SORA 2, the top Open-Of-The-To Line-to-video model Line-video was released at the end of September, and anyone interested in Ayi watched with surprise and disappointment as copyright hell. That includes a lot of content that looked like Japanese Media Properties like Pokemon, HiDo Kojima’s Video Game, and some unspecified Ghibli productions.
Suffering from alleged infringement is different in tone and form from most American copyright claims. The similarities between SORA 2 and Japanese images and video are “the result of using Japanese content as machine learning data,” Code said. When such content is the result, “COCA considers that the act of reproduction during the machine learning process may constitute copyright infringement.”
The copyright law of Japan has a suitable section in AI called article 30-4 that may destroy the logical light of Coda, and its first reason is the gentle nature of obtaining correction – that is Japan is a favorable legal place for this kind of thing. According to the government’s official sheet on the law, “exploitation for non-pleasure purposes” such as the development of “AI or other methods of data analysis, in principle, is allowed without the permission of the copyright owner.”
Coda, however, says that in Japan, “prior permission is generally required for the use of copyrighted works, and there is no system that allows one to avoid liability for subsequent infringement.”
