Hollywood displayed significant resistance to OpenAI's Sora 2, sparking legal battles over its AI video generation technology. OpenAI initially courted industry players like Disney, seeking collaborations and mitigating concerns surrounding AI use. However, OpenAI later adopted a more assertive approach, requiring explicit opt-outs from using intellectual property and likenesses on the platform. This move was swiftly met with criticism from talent agencies, unions, and major studios, who asserted that content owners shouldn't need to opt-out to protect their rights. Legal experts suggest this pushback might be a strategy to compel OpenAI to secure licensing agreements for content. Meanwhile, Sora 2's initial "copyright-free" approach quickly changed, angering users who enjoyed creating content using copyrighted materials, as reported by Gizmodo. Social media platforms are now flooded with negative reactions from users, leading to lower app ratings and accusations of censorship. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman claims some rights holders want to feature their characters more prominently on Sora, which is up for debate. Business Insider's observations suggest that a teenage boy demographic seems to be the primary users of Sora 2 currently.
