Several leading companies in the global entertainment industry have started a legal dispute with the AI ​​giant Midjourney before the US district court in California. We summarize below.
Lawsuit against AI companies
The 110-page application was submitted by Disney, Lucasfilm, Marvel, Twentieth Century Fox Film, Universal City Studios Productions, Dreamworks Animation and MVL Film Finance about the US law firm Jenner & Block. They all accuse Midjourney of both direct and indirect copyright violations.
Despite multiple requests for omission, the company, founded in 2022, is said to have trained its artificial intelligence with copyright -protected images of the plaintiffs, with the aim of creating and spreading almost identical replicas of the original works.
Midjourney is as “Frecid drivers of copyright and as a bottomless plagiarism trap” Described, whose actions “The fundamental incentives of the US consulting law, which threatens to drive the American leadership in film, television and other creative arts, threatens to reject”.
Intentional behavior
Midjourney’s violations were also deliberately carried out, since users could visit the website and search specifically for copyrighted works.
The subsequent creation would already be possible with simple requests, whereby there were also no protective measures against copyright infringement in the AI ​​generated expenses-only a few restrictions in connection with nudity, violence and politics.
Finally, the plaintiffs require an injunction against Midjourney and either actual compensation (an amount for which Midjourney is demonstrably responsible) or legal compensation, which is usually up to $ 150,000 per injured work. The outcome is still open.
