Warner Bros. sues Midjourney for 'purposefully infringing copyrighted work'

Warner Bros. sues Midjourney for 'purposefully infringing copyrighted work'

Warner Bros. has filed a lawsuit against the AI image generator Midjourney, alleging that the company has "purposefully infringed" on Warner's copyrighted characters, including Batman, Wonder Woman, and others. The lawsuit claims that Midjourney has used these copyrighted characters in its image generation without permission, and is seeking $150,000 in damages for each work that infringes on Warner's intellectual property. This move by Warner Bros. is part of a growing trend of copyright holders seeking to address the use of their content in AI-generated works, as the technology continues to advance. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for the AI art generation industry and the broader debate around the use of copyrighted material in AI-powered applications.
