ByteDance Signs Agreement to Protect Intellectual Property in Video Models

ByteDance and the American Film Association announced a joint agreement to enhance intellectual property protections for video and image generation models. The agreement includes the 'Sidanse' video model and the 'Sidream' image generation model, available on platforms like TikTok and CapCut. This move follows legal warnings from Hollywood studios, including Disney, about the potential use of these models to generate content featuring copyrighted characters without permission.
