Altman himself says that Sora will add “granular”, Opt-in Copyright Controls

Opeli can be a reversible course, how it approaches copyright and intellectual property in the new Sora video application.

Before starting Sory this week, Wall Street Journal reported The fact that Opeli spoke Hollywood Studios and agencies that they had to give up clearly if they do not want their IP to be included in films generated by Sora.

Despite the invitation, the application quickly climbed to the top of the App Store charts. The most characteristic feature of Sory can be “Kamee”, in which users can send their biometric data to see their digital similarity presented in films generated by AI.

At the same time, users also seem to delight the disregard for copyright regulations, creating films with popular studio characters. In some cases, these characters can even criticize the company's approach to copyright, for example in films in which Pikachu and Spongebob interact with the deep cabinets of the Opeli General Director Sam Altman.

IN Blog post published on FridayAltman said that the company is already planning two changes in Sora, first giving the owners of copyright “more detailed control over character generation, similar to the opt-in similarity model, but with additional controls.”

The key word here seems to be “Opt-in”, suggesting that Opeli will stop users from creating films with copyright protected characters, unless studies and other right-wingers actually agreed Sora.

“We hear from many right -wing, who are very excited about this new type of” interactive fiction of fans “and we think that this new type of commitment will bring them great value, but he wants the opportunity to determine how to use their characters (including not at all),” said Altman.

Even with this new approach, Altman admitted that there will probably be “some advantage of generations that go through it.”

The second change he mentioned is an indefinite form of video monetization. The company earlier said that the only monetization plan was to charge users about creating additional films during periods of high demand, and the post on Altman's blog seems to develop this idea, recognizing: “We will have to earn money to generate video.” He also suggests that revenues can be divided with laws.

“We hope that a new type of commitment is even more valuable than participating in revenues, but of course … we want both of them to be valuable.”
