💼 ByteDance Addresses Copyright Issues in Seedance 2.5
ByteDance introduced the Seedance 2.5 video generation model at the FORCE conference, implementing 4K support and clips up to 30 seconds long. Instead of imposing restrictions, the company launched an IP commercialization platform that allows for the legal use of characters through a revenue-sharing system with rights holders.
🌍 ByteDance is shifting from a "ban everything" model to a "legalize through licenses" model, creating a new standard for interaction between AI labs and the film industry.
👤 This will allow creators to use recognizable characters as a legal tool rather than a source of legal risk.
