Major studios, including Disney and NBCUniversal, have initiated legal action against AI company Midjourney, claiming it's promoting copyright infringement by curating user-generated content that features copyrighted characters. They argue Midjourney has the ability to implement technical protections to prevent such infringements but has chosen not to. This lawsuit represents an emerging conflict in Hollywood, where studios are now challenging tech firms over intellectual property issues, further emphasizing the ongoing tension between creative industries and AI technologies.
We are bringing this action today to protect the hard work of all the artists whose work entertains and inspires us and the significant investment we make in our content.
Midjourney actively promotes copyright infringement by displaying user-generated content featuring copyrighted characters in its 'Explore' section, showing knowledge of its actions.
