Okay, the other thing is, if the Screen Actors Guild gets their act together to kind of prevent this stuff, or even if regulators and politicians pass laws to prevent deepfakes of actors so that Hollywood somehow gets preserved and saved, you know, people can't make AI movies, whatever, with actors' likenesses.

Yeah.

Even if that happens, those laws will just likely cover like North America, Western Europe, okay?

No one's stopping like Chinese companies or any company that isn't subject to these laws that will happen in the West to protect actors.

And then...

you know, the internet's open.

I can just go on these platforms and generate videos.

I don't think this is stoppable is what I'm trying to say.

Even if the actors get together and try to stop it, even if lawmakers get together to try to stop it, I don't think there's anything stopping this technology because I could just go online and do it, you know, like sure it might be illegal, but what stopped people from downloading music when Napster was around, even though they knew it was illegal, you know?

So I just don't think this is going to be stopped.

I agree with you.

If you sign a deal or if you put a law in place, that authority stops at the border.

But we know that the technology is global.

And so Disney, for its part, they signed a licensing deal with OpenAI.

So they're allowed to use Disney characters in their Sora video generator.

So even as Disney is suing everyone else, it's sidling up to the AI enemy and recognizing that it needs to at least get with the program.

But I think there's also a recognition that outside of this one deal between one studio and one platform,

You know, there are those out there around the world who frankly don't care.

And well, if the tool allows it, and the problem with SeaDance is there were no limitations, there were no guardrails preventing the use of celebrity, intellectual property, individual likenesses, that, you know, they'll happily use the technology and, you know, violate that copyright, violate that IP.

And there's no stuffing Pandora back in the box.
