Sora 2, a video and audio generation model, faces copyright infringement allegations

OpenAI Sora 2 was officially released on September 30, 2025.

The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) stated in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that the data Sora learned from "I'm not going to go into the details of the data that was used, but it was publicly available or licensed data."

"I'm just not going to go into the details of the data that was used, but it was publicly available or licensed data."

He answered this way.

OpenAI stated that if Sora 2 is released, they will censor it if requested by the copyright holder. Because there is no other action unless the copyright holder raises an issue with the content, many reactions are mixed.

In response to the claim of copyright infringement, they also proposed "revenue sharing."
