Verification of the creator-reported claim in C3-B512-01: the MPA press page (R1) is dated 12 February 2026 and quotes Chairman and CEO Charles Rivkin on the launch of "Chinese AI service Seedance 2.0": unauthorized use of U.S. copyrighted works "on a massive scale" "in a single day", operating "without meaningful safeguards against infringement", and a demand that ByteDance "immediately cease its infringing activity". So C3-B512-01's statement that the MPA demanded ByteDance cease infringing activity is confirmed; its "24 to 48 hours with no guardrails" window and the expectation of later restrictions remain creator characterisations. Search results (R2, not read in full) also describe later studio cease-and-desist letters (reportedly Disney and Paramount Skydance) and an MPA letter, and ByteDance saying it was strengthening safeguards - unverified here. Current ByteDance controls for Seedance 2.x (real-face restrictions, authorised portrait assets) are in C3-B436-01 and C3-B466-01...
