""Google operates as a virtual vending machine, capable of reproducing, rendering, and distributing copies of Disney's valuable library of copyrighted characters and other works on a mass scale," the letter reads.

Disney issued a cease-and-desist to Google, alleging large-scale copyright infringement by Google’s AI models and services that reproduce and commercially distribute unauthorized images and videos of Disney characters. Disney claims Google functions as a virtual vending machine that reproduces and distributes copies of Disney’s copyrighted characters and works on a mass scale, and that many infringing images carry the Gemini logo, falsely implying Disney authorization. The allegations cite characters from Frozen, The Lion King, Moana, The Little Mermaid, Deadpool, and others. Google did not comment. Disney also signed a three-year, $1 billion deal with OpenAI to bring its characters to Sora.
