Disney and Universal have filed a lawsuit against Midjourney by @wired

Finally. I had been wondering why I hadn't seen a move like this from a big studio and here we are with two at once.

Disney and Universal have filed a lawsuit against Midjourney, alleging that the San Francisco–based AI image generation startup is a “bottomless pit of plagiarism” that generates “endless unauthorized copies” of the studios' work. There are already dozens of copyright lawsuits against AI companies winding through the US court system—including a class action lawsuit visual artists brought against Midjourney in 2023—but this is the first time major Hollywood studios have jumped into the fray.

The general public were terrorised by music labels for illegally downloading music from the internet, but in my opinion, this behaviour is way worse.
