Anime Creators Challenge OpenAI over Unauthorized Use of Copyrighted Materials
The Foreign Content Distribution Association (CODA) in Japan has formally requested that OpenAI cease training its Sora 2 AI model with copyrighted materials owned by its member organizations. CODA, representing companies such as Aniplex, Bandai Namco, Studio Ghibli, Square Enix, Kadokawa, Shueisha, and Sony, argues that manga and anime are considered national treasures and should not be used without permission to train AI models. CODA asserts that Sora 2’s output is so similar to copyrighted Japanese works that it constitutes a copyright violation. They state that while OpenAI had cautioned organizations about potential copyright issues, Japanese law requires advance authorization for such usage. CODA is therefore asking OpenAI to stop using unauthorized content and to address the concerns raised by these companies.
