Copyright Leakage Detection in AI Generated Videos

Shaif Chowdhury, Moshiur Rahman Tonmoy

Video generation models can create realistic-looking video footage from images and text prompts. Some of the recent advances have raised concerns about the reproduction of copyrighted visual content. However, copyright leakage detection in generated videos remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we introduce a new benchmark data set for copyright leakage detection, comprising 50 copyrighted concepts, each with 5 images. For each concept, we have 5 videos created using the image+prompt video generation model and the prompt-only video generation model. Following that, we develop an AI toolset based on a contrastive retrieval framework that formulates copyright leakage detection as a video-to-image retrieval problem by matching aggregated video frame embeddings against a database of copyrighted image embeddings. Our method uses a single similarity threshold and retrieves the most similar copyrighted reference as supporting evidence. We conducted experiments showing strong retrieval and detection performance, achieving 99.6\% detection accuracy with only a single false negative. These results show the effectiveness of the retrieval-based method for scalable and explainable…
