Disney and Comcast have jointly sued Midjourney, a startup specializing in AI-generated images, for copyright infringement. The lawsuit highlights ongoing tensions between traditional media companies and emerging AI technologies that utilize copyrighted content for training models. Examples cited include violations involving characters from franchises like Star Wars and The Simpsons. Although Midjourney argues its practices fall under fair use, Disney and Comcast’s legal action underscores the complexities of copyright in the age of AI, as they seek to balance innovation with the protection of their intellectual property.
"Piracy is piracy, and whether an infringing image or video is made with AI or another technology does not make it any less infringing, the suit says."
"Traditional media businesses that own copyrights say the companies building those models should pay them in order to train on their work."
