Warner Bruce

Warner Bros is sued Ai Startup Midjourney for violating copyright, claiming that the company allows users to create photos and videos of characters like Superman, Batman and Bugs Bunny without permission.

As I mentioned for the first time before ReutersWarner bros. says. Midjourney intentionally participated in the illegal behavior, noting that the company was previously restricting subscribers to generate content based on the outgoing images, but it recently raised this protection.

“Midjourney has made a calculated and motor decision to make zero protection for copyrights even though Midjourney is known about the picturesque scope of its piracy and the violation of copyright,” says the complaint.

The lawsuit seeks to obtain unspecified compensation, the return of any earning profits from the alleged violation, and to stop other violations.

Warner Bruce follows the lawsuit, one similar in June Walt Disney and Universal against Midjourney To violate the copyright that involve characters such as Dartheter Vader, Bart Simpson, partner, and others. In this case, Midjourney argued that the use of these actions to train artificial intelligence models is legal under the doctrine of the fair use of the American Publishing Law.

Midjourney did not respond to the Techcrunch request for comment.
