The complaint, submitted on Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, references images produced by Midjourney's neural network depicting characters like Darth Vader from Disney's “Star Wars” franchise and "minions’ from Universal's “Despicable Me” series, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The film studios refer to Midjourney's acknowledged infractions as “intentional.” They mention that they have earlier urged the AI company to cease these actions and implement measures to avoid additional violations.
“We initiated this legal action to safeguard the dedication of all the creators whose work entertains and inspires us, along with our significant investment in content,” stated Kim Harris, general counsel for NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast Corp.
The studios anticipate obtaining financial restitution and an order to prevent Midjourney from additional copyright violations.
