Disney and Universal launched a landmark lawsuit against the A.I. image generator Midjourney, alleging extensive copyright infringement. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles, accuses Midjourney of using numerous copyrighted works to train its software, facilitating the creation of images that reproduce iconic characters like Shrek and Darth Vader without permission. This legal action marks a significant escalation in the ongoing disputes surrounding A.I. technologies within the entertainment industry, particularly as creators express frustration over the lack of studio response to these infringements.
The lawsuit filed by Disney and Universal claimed that Midjourney has been using countless copyrighted works to train its software, infringing on the rights of these companies.
Midjourney is accused of being a 'copyright free-rider' and a 'bottomless pit of plagiarism', as it enables users to generate images that replicate famous characters without consent.
