Add Warner Bros. Discovery and Netflix to the companies sending cease and desist letters to ByteDance over copyright infringement concerns. Wrote WBD legal head Wayne M. Smith to ByteDance Global General Counsel John Rogovin, his predecessor at WBD, “Given your history with Warner Bros., you understand the importance and value of Warner Bros. Discovery’s copyrighted works, including the famous copyrighted characters like Superman and Batman that you spent much of your career protecting.” Netflix warned ByteDance it “will not stand by and watch ByteDance treat our valued IP as free, public domain clip art.” The missives follow similar warnings from Paramount and Disney.
