Unlike past models, the new one is able to blend video and audio relatively seamlessly.<\/p>\n<p>The AI was quickly denounced after release by the Motion Picture Association for copyright infringement, with studios quickly following suit and sending cease-and-desist letters.  The Netflix one, however, is the first to explicitly threaten litigation.<\/p>\n<p>ByteDance said on Monday that it would impose additional guardrails to prevent unauthorised uses of copyrights and actors\u2019 likenesses by Seedance users.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/tv\/news\/netflix-bytedance-immediate-litigation-seedance-ai-1236666084\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Variety<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Netflix Netflix is the latest to join several studios condemning the Chinese company ByteDance over its Seedance 2.0&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":476911,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[182,181,507,137872,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-476910","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-bigslider","12":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476910","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=476910"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476910\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/476911"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=476910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=476910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
