OpenAI's new short-video app Sora 2 has topped Apple's App Store despite controversy over copyright infringement. The app allows users to create videos using natural language prompts and was downloaded 56,000 times on its launch day. However, copyright holders such as Disney have expressed concerns over the app's use of copyrighted characters. OpenAI has since reversed its policy and plans to introduce controls allowing rights holders to dictate how their characters are used in the app, with a revenue-sharing model to follow.
