OpenAI's New Sora Video Generator To Require Copyright Holders To Opt Out

An anonymous reader shares a report: OpenAI is planning to release a new version of its Sora video generator that creates videos featuring copyrighted material unless copyright holders opt out of having their work appear, according to people familiar with the matter.
