迪士尼起訴 Midjourney 版權侵權 — 但 Midjourney 要求查看迪士尼自己的 AI 用法
midjourney 請求法院迫使迪士尼、環球和華納兄弟披露其內部生成式 ai 的使用情況。這一反訴指控工作室在使用類似技術的同時聲稱受到損害，這可能使其關於市場損害的主張顯得虛偽。
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.
