Netflix takes legal action against the owner of TikTok for the use of AI
Netflix has taken legal action against ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, by sending a cease and desist letter demanding the immediate halt of video generation through artificial intelligence that uses its intellectual property.

The controversy arises in the context of Seedance 2.0, a platform that generates videos based on characters and content from popular Netflix series, such as Stranger Things, KPop Demon Hunters, Squid Game, and Bridgerton.
Not everything goes with AI
In the letter, Netflix made it clear that it will not tolerate its intellectual property being treated as public domain art. The company argues that ByteDance is using its characters and narrative elements without authorization, which represents a violation of its copyright and intellectual property rights.
Netflix’s action comes at a time when the entertainment and technology industry is facing a growing debate over intellectual property rights in the digital age. As artificial intelligence becomes a common tool in content generation, concerns arise about how existing works are used and what legal implications these practices could have for content creators.
For its part, Netflix has emphasized that it will not stand idly by while ByteDance treats our valuable intellectual property as if it were free clip art in the public domain. The resolution of this matter will be closely watched, as it could set a precedent in regulating the use of AI in the creation of content that involves copyrighted works.
