Media megacorps would bribe their politician cronies to ban it on the spot. The excuse given would be think-of-the-children-tier arguments about the fear of fake porn/political videos, but the real motivation would be to protect their own careers, since as soon as any hobbyist could match a professional special effects company in their free time, actual media corporations would have to rely on writing quality and IP ownership and consequently go under in a heartbeat.

Given the last decade of relentless Marvel, Pixar and Lucas Arts content from Disney, I expect they have gotten a good formula for lowest-energy per population entertainment necessary to keep making the big bucks.

From there it's just a simple case of using those bucks to spot disruptive competition and buy it out or pivot to out-compete.

Disagree. They will want to monopolize it to cut out artists and make things cheaper. Making it not protected by copyright is a good thing as that means people are protected.

Cases like that will be illegal just like 3d printed ghost guns are illegal. Someone will have to identify and catch the people doing it, which will be difficult if they’re airgapped and not mouthy.
