Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Disney and Universal sued a prominent artificial intelligence start-up for copyright infringement on Wednesday, bringing Hollywood belatedly into the increasingly intense battle over generative A.I.</p><p>The movie companies sued Midjourney, an A.I. image generator that has tens of millions of registered users. The 110-page lawsuit contends that Midjourney “helped itself to countless” copyrighted works to train its software, which allows people to create images (and soon videos) that “blatantly incorporate and copy Disney’s and Universal’s famous characters.”</p><p>“Midjourney is the quintessential copyright free-rider and a bottomless pit of plagiarism,” the companies said in the lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.<br>Midjourney did not respond to requests for comment.</p><p>A.I. start-ups like Midjourney, which was introduced in 2022, train their software with data scraped from the internet and elsewhere, often without compensating creators. The practice has resulted in lawsuits from authors, artists, record labels and news organizations, among others. (The New York Times has sued OpenAI and its partner, Microsoft, for copyright infringement. OpenAI and Microsoft have denied those claims, saying their actions fall under “fair use.”)"</p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/business/media/disney-universal-midjourney-ai.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nytimes.com/2025/06/11/busines</span><span class="invisible">s/media/disney-universal-midjourney-ai.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GeneratedImages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeneratedImages</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Universal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Universal</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Disney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Disney</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/MidJourney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MidJourney</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Copyright</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/IP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IP</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Plagiarism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Plagiarism</span></a></p>
