US EditionJapanese Media Giants Demand OpenAI Stop Using Their Works to Train Sora 2
- On October 27, the Content Overseas Distribution Association sent a formal letter demanding OpenAI stop using Japanese copyrighted works to train AI, targeting the Sora 2 AI video generation platform, as CODA says its outputs closely resemble Japanese content and may constitute copyright infringement.
- CODA argues OpenAI's opt-out system conflicts with Japan's copyright law, which generally requires prior permission and allows no liability avoidance through later objections.
- In March this year, OpenAI's ChatGPT-4o image generator update enabled users to create images explicitly in the style of Studio Ghibli titles like Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle.
- The complaint includes Studio Ghibli after previous contentious AI uses, with CODA noting Ghibli's sensitivity to AI-driven replication shaped its role in the dispute.
- An old interview clip of Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki recently went viral showing his strong disapproval of AI animation, saying `I am utterly disgusted` and calling it `an insult to life itself`.
