ByteDance Launches Seedance 2.0 Globally After Copyright Delays

ByteDance’s Seedance 2.0 leads text-to-video AI rankings with safeguards to block unauthorized use of real faces and copyrighted material, supporting creators worldwide.

  • On Thursday, Beijing-based ByteDance globally launched Dreamina Seedance 2.0, which Artificial Analysis ranked first in the Text-to-Video category with an Elo score of 1269.
  • CapCut expanded the model across Africa, South America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia on Thursday, though the United States remains excluded from the current rollout.
  • Major Hollywood production studios including Disney, Paramount, Warner Bros, and Netflix threatened legal action against ByteDance over copyright concerns, as protection remains a key optimization area.
  • ByteDance's rollout coincides with a broader industry shift toward "agentic" tools, while US rival OpenAI shut down its consumer-facing service Sora on Tuesday.
  • The company pledged "firm safeguards" to prevent unauthorised use of individuals' likenesses or intellectual property, while future API openness may further empower developers and enterprise scenarios.
