Japan Warns Sora Over Anime IP

Japan formally asked OpenAI to stop Sora 2 from generating videos with copyrighted anime and game characters and hinted it could use its new AI law if ignored. This shifts the enforcement battleground from training data to model outputs and pressures platforms to license or geofence character use. It also tests how fast global AI providers can adapt to national IP regimes. — It shows states asserting jurisdiction over AI content and foreshadows output‑licensing and geofenced compliance as core tools in AI governance.
