"It's the equivalent of Crunchyroll putting out a video generation model. If the rightsholders disagree with this usage"

how can you prove then??? its literally the same way OpenAI use Ghibli material and they can't do anything about it

OpenAI doesn't have an existing business based on licensing Studio Ghibli content, so the only option Studio Ghibli has to stop them is to sue them and hope that OpenAI is found to have infringed their copyright.

Bilibili does have an existing business based on licensing Studio Ghibli content, so Studio Ghibli can threaten to refuse to sell them distribution rights for future releases, even without a lawsuit.
