OpenAI's video generation AI, Sora 2, is generating a large number of users who create videos of Pokemon, Mario, etc., and it is reported that OpenAI is preparing an option to exclude copyrighted content.



On October 1, 2025, OpenAI announced Sora 2 , a video generation AI. Since the release of Sora 2, a large number of videos containing copyrighted content such as Pokémon and Mario have been generated on the Internet.

Star Wars Pikachu and Sam Altman




There was also a Super Mario version.




Additionally, a video has emerged that appears to combine two different games: Portal and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater .




You can also include Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog in your videos.




The sheer volume of copyrighted content prompted some to tweet, 'It's an endless feed of plagiarism.'




When you open the Sora 2 app, the following screen appears, leading some to believe that 'OpenAI is about to be sued.'




Regarding the use of copyrighted content in video generation, lawyer Richard Hogue told game media IGN, 'There's no clear answer yet. The law moves slowly, much slower than technology. That's why these tech companies seem to be a little ahead of the law. My guess is that the training set used by OpenAI will be fine in the long run (as long as it's not pirated). Therefore, I don't think the 'opt out of training' option makes much sense. What they should really be concerned about is the output, or whether they're using protected content to market their software features.'

Prior to the Sora 2 announcement, The Wall Street Journal reported that OpenAI was planning an opt-out option for copyright holders to exclude their content from being used.

OpenAI has reportedly begun notifying talent agencies and film studios about the opt-out process. Under the new policy, film studios and other copyright holders must proactively opt out of Sora's use of their copyrighted material. However, publicly recognizable people, such as celebrities, will not be depicted in videos without their consent.

The Sora app is invitation-only and only available to select users in the United States and Canada at the time of writing, but it was reportedly downloaded 56,000 times on the first day of release and ranked third overall in the App Store in the United States. Due to its popularity, it has also been revealed that Sora 2 invitation codes are being resold on eBay .

In addition, OpenAI encourages users to upload videos of their faces to the Sora app to generate videos, making it difficult to determine whether the video is real or a fake one generated by AI.
