Disney, 저작권 침해로 Midjourney 소송 — 그러나 Midjourney는 Disney 자체 AI 사용 공개를 요구
Midjourney는 법원에 Disney, Universal, Warner Bros가 내부 생성 AI 사용 내역을 공개하도록 강제해 달라고 요청했습니다. 이 반소는 스튜디오들이 손해배상을 청구하면서 유사한 기술을 사용하고 있다고 주장하며, 그들의 시장 피해 주장이 위선적일 수 있음을 드러냅니다.
midjourney is escalating its legal defense against disney, universal, and warner bros by filing a motion to compel broader discovery, demanding access to internal ai tools, prompts, and outputs that the studios claim are exempt. the ai startup argues that limiting discovery to consumer-facing videos allows the studios to hide their own use of generative ai for internal storyboarding and content ideation, which midjourney asserts proves training on unlicensed copyrighted material is industry custom. midjourney contends that if the studios are developing models that perform the actions they sued over—downloading and training on copyrighted characters without licenses—it invalidates their claims of market harm. the studios' lead attorney has dismissed these requests as a 'fishing expedition,' insisting the case is simply about stopping unauthorized distribution of famous characters.
