OpenAI is preparing to launch a new version of its Sora video generator that will incorporate copyrighted material into AI-generated videos unless rights holders formally opt out. While studios and talent agencies may be informed about this new policy, independent artists will be left to discover it on their own. The new Sora model will not generate real human figures without permission, but copyrighted fictional characters and styles will fall under its opt-out policy. Independent artists, small studios, and freelancers could see their styles or characters reproduced unless they actively pursue opt-out options. This is, of course, an option that many small-scale, independent, and international artists cannot pursue, making the opt-out policy all the more objectionable.
